For reasons I have not yet identified, unpredictably I sometimes get a transparent white screen in PSCS3 with "This program has to close" when I use the brush tool with a Wacom tablet and when I try to use a plugin filter (buZZ Pro).

My system is: AMD x2 Athlon 4800 cpu; Asus A8nSLI Premium mobo; Gigabyte 7600GT 256mb vga card; 2gb of ram; two hdds with the scratch disk on the D drive. OS is Vista Ultimate. I am running the latest Wacom drivers for my tablet and the latest Nvidia driver (just a few days old) for the vga card.

Another problem I have with CS3 is that sometimes the cursor, with the wacom pentool and with a Logitech MX revolution mouse and latest drivers, lags behind the movement of the pentool and moves in jerks – a restart cures this. But what causes this?

….and..while I’m here… I have had to create a new Administrator under Vista to get PSCS3 and Dreamweaver CS3 to install. Without this, the Setup window briefly flashes on and then disappears. Having installed the prog using the additional Administartor and I get rid of it and then carry on as before. But what uis going on here?

Could it be a memory problem? or cpu overload? Some incompatability? I am baffled. Grateful for any ideas what may be causing these behaviours.

Thanks

I think that it is the Nvidia drivers, I have a 7900 fx with the latest drivers and CS3 would not run at all on my machine with WinVista Ultimate. Spent a couple of hours on the phone with Adobe with no success in solving the problem
