I LOVE PHOTOSHOP CS!!! Like has NOTHING to do with it!
I’ve rarely been so happy with a purchase as with both Adobe’s PS:CS and IS:CS. Great programs which I’m proud to be a owner of.
But I need some help! A while ago, I opened a thread, and for the life of me I can’t find it, so, it’s been a while, but I’d like to know if someone has had similar problems, and if so, could they please help me out!
THE PROBLEM!
I found out a while ago, that when I booted PS:CS, it takes approximately 7 minutes (no joke) to boot. I am running a 1.5Ghz AMD XP1800 1024MB PC2100 DDR GF3 64MB DDR system. IS:CS takes 6 seconds to boot. But IS isn’t the problem here.
After a lot of reading on these forums, I found that if you rename folders Adobe uses on bootup to have a tilde in front of them (ie, change "Import-Export" folder to "~Import-Export", then Adobe will ignore all files located in this folder and not process them on boot.
In order to get PS:CS to boot at a respectable time, I have to ~ out the following:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins\Import-Export (which just contains TWAIN_32.8BA)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins\Adobe Photoshop Only\Automate
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins\Adobe Photoshop Only\Automate\Online Services
=============================================
Well, sure enough, with this TWAIN_32.8BA not loading, I cannot use my scanner with PS:CS! 🙁
And with the Automate Folder tilde’d out, I have only the options of BATCH, PDF PRESENTATION and CREATE DROPLET under the FILE > AUTOMATE function.
I try to goto FILE > IMPORT, and all I have there is PDF IMAGE and Annotations (Grayed out).
When they are tilde’d out, PS:CS boots in 7 seconds. Something in these files is holding Photoshop up. But what? And why? I’ve done PS:CS reinstalls, gotten the latest drivers for my scanner, reinstalled it as well, but to no avail.
ONLINE SERVICES has me confused. I only have a hardware firewall (no software ones) which does not stop unsolicited outbound information. But I do have all unecessary ports blocked. Mayhaps PS is trying to use a port and timing out? But what port?
Anyways, that is the problem, and I’d REALLY need some help in order to get it resolved. I hope that if Adobe makes a patch for PS:CS, that they take into consideration all the great ideas on the appropriate forum. Our copy of PS:CS that I use at work doesn’t have any of these problems.
