Hi Guys

I am having an odd problem and it is consistent across my brand new hp laptop, home computer and desktop at work so It cannot be a hardware issue etc. Photoshop CS ran fine but CS2 freezes on every tool I use. For example if I click the image tab it freezes for a couple of secs seems like it redraws then freezes on the canvas size etc etc. starting to drive me crazy. Indesign CS2, Illy CS2 etc work great just having this issue with photoshop. Any Ideas?

Thanks
Samuel

Could be you have Photoshop’s memory allocation set to high. The default 55% is about right for any XP system with up to 2GB of RAM. Lower is you have less than this.

Without system specs it is difficult to be more specific.

I have this same problem. I would define this problem as a short pause of about 10 seconds seemingly at random, but resulting from some user input such as a mouse click anywhere.

I’m in winXP latest SP, all latest updates
Machine has 2G ram
Processor is a 64bit Athlon 3200+
Free Disk space is 90GB
Video card is DIAMOND AGP X1600 w512MB RAM
Video resolution is 2560 x 1600
Photoshop is version 9 (CS2), with all latest updates

This only recently started happening… so I assume a change on my machine is causing it. Perhaps at the installation of the video card, which is fairly new.
