When I went to use Photoshop yesterday, it hung just before loading completed. I tried several times, rebooted, tried several more times but to no avail. I thought I would have to reload it, but that would have meant finding the disk, andI didn’t desperately need it, so I abandoned it. During the night I remembered that a day or two earlier my wife had asked me to print a photo for her. The photo was on her computer, which is linked to mine by a local area network. She was at golf yesterday, so her computer wasn’t on. Today it was on, and Photoshop started first-time. I checked the "recent files" and, sure enough, her file was second on the least. I loaded a large number of files, so that it disappeared off the list, turned her computer off, closed Photoshop and tried to reopen it. It hung again. I turned her computer on, and again it started immediately.
After some more experimenting I discovered that the maximum length of the "recent files" display was 30 files. So I went on opening files until the offending file disappeared. Then I closed Photoshop, shut down my wife’s PC, and restarted Photoshop. This time it started okay!
So can anybody tell me why in Hells name Photoshop thinks it should access a file on some other computer just because I opened it a day or two before, and why this should cause the program to hang if that computer isn’t switched on?
