I have been trying for 45 minute to get files to open in CSPS with no success. I need to get a 28MB file from CSPS to CSAI. Opening both programs at once completely bogs the machine down with from 410 to 559 RAM available and VC running with one either AI or PS running. So I said to my self, self, open PS copy the layer you need. Close PS, open AI and paste. A cumbersome workaround mind you, but it should work. The *&^%# file will not even open with just PS running. The file is on my laptop and I have been working successfully with it all day at the office. In fact, I worked on it and saved it just before shutting down at the office and bring the laptop home. I have waited for this file to open for at least three minutes several times. In PS7 with the same machine I have opened 300 mb files in less time than that. I had a normal shut down and boot when I came home, so I don’t think the file is the culprit. My machine is a Toshiba Satellite Laptop, P4 2.8, a Gig of ram operating on XP HOme. Bottom line, I have $749 worth of the latest software installed and I’m not billing any hours. Does anyone out there feel my pain? What in the tunket am I ddoing wrong?
Kindest regards,
Joe

Now I have tried to open other files that are "Ready for Use," same song second verse. Should I dump PS and reinstall or what?

Having followed my own advice and reinstalling, whatevertohellwasthematter went to electron purgatory and the software seems to be working just fine now. Is this a great country or what?
