I can open Photoshop (7.0) without any problems, then I go to File->Open and the Open window appears for about a second before it disappears and the whole program shuts. When I do a File->Open Recent, it’s works. Opening a brand new file is also fine. In ImageReady, I tried it – I opened just four files at once, then I went back to File->Open (to see) and I got an error message saying an error occurred so the operation could not be completed. When I try again, I click on the file and click open, I/R freezes. Could this be a memory issue? I am working on Windows XP Professional and have been told that my memory and/or motherboard might need to be updated. Could that have something to do with this?
