Im running Windows XP home 512Ram 1.2Ghz. I have Photoshop CS. I have never had an issue with it for the 2 months or so I have been using it. Just recently. After a windows update, which also updated my video driver I notice that when I run CS it is using between 30-50 person of my CPU power constantly, even if its minimized. Also it used to be between 2000 and 7000 kb of ram when minimized and now it uses over 10000. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, yet the issue continues. I would appreciate any help in this matter.

As a side note. sometimes when I am running CS the pointer stops responding to the tools. I can still go and save my image and all the commands on keyboard and file menu work. And I can switch the tools I’m using, The pointer doesnt change though, or respond when I try to use it on the image. Closing and Restarting photoshop fixes the problem, but it is on the annoying side.
