Default Issue with Actions

I have the Pioneer Woman Set 1 and use them frequently. All of a sudden when I run the action, I have to hit "OK" on every step! It used to just run through to the end. Does anyone know why this would happen?

I love Pioneer Woman too! I am wondering if you need to reset things. When starting photoshop, hit control shift delete and your art/effects palette should reset. HTH!

Do you see the little square to the right of the name of the action? Is it empty or does it have a red or black box in it?

It has a black box. The second set that I downloaded just recently doesn't have either, and my colorful actions from Mindy Bush has a red box.

Those boxes indicate that the action is set to pause during certain steps.

If it has a black box, it means that it will pause at every step. If it has a red box, it will only pause at certain steps.

Click the little arrow next to the name of the action to expand it and see all the steps. You will see a black box next to any step it will pause on.

To get rid of these, simply click on the black box. If you're prompted that the change will effect everything and is undoable, do it anyway. You can change it back if you need to.

Basically . . . empty boxes = no pausing.
