Spinning Beach Ball of Death when saving.

Hey all.

I just upgraded to leopard and am having a tough time with cs3. We absolutely have to work off of a server so I can't get around that. However, it's just a mac in the corner, so it's not so technical...

Anyway, whenever I run an simple action on a file, it runs fine, but I get a spinning beach ball for at least 15 seconds. I can click on other applications, but the finder locks up. This only happens in Leopard. I've tried in tiger, and it works better, although still slower than PS7 or CS. I've locked the mediabrowser file and upgraded to 10.5.4 which said to fix an issue with cs3 (maybe not this one).

I think this is related to working from the server but I don't have a choice.

Anyone else experience this?

Somebody has forced you to suffer the consequences.

I've worked for companies like that and you have my condolences.

Understood, but it worked so so smoothly in 7 and CS.
