"Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software"

Re: Ps-

Are you using the latest driver for your ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 series ?

have a look at this page :

GPU and OpenGL support | Photoshop CS4, CS5

Another way around to fix this prob is add this entry into reg :

Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\12.0]
"AllowOldGPUS"=dword:00000001

How to check whether my GPU support Shader Model 3.0 & OpenGL 2.0...
In the Catalyst control centre it shows OpenGL version 6.14.10.8395

check ur directx version.. directx 9.0c support shader model 3 and so dx 10 or 11 will support too.

best way to check it using a software called GPU-Z. Ift will show you very bit of details of your gfx card.

even I'm facing the same issue with the latest nvidia driver - I think this is PS CS5 bug and adobe will release a update for this.
