Symptom:
Photoshop CS3 Extended painfully slow at opening a new window (even a small one eg:100x100px) and just as slow opening any size and filetype of image. Takes between 1-2 minutes to load and often results in ‘not responding’ messages.
Running Windows Vista Ultimate with bags of hard drive space and 1GB Ram and ATI Sapphire graphics card with 512mb onboard RAM.
All app updates and drivers up to date (and no Intellipoint!)
I’ve just spent some time stopping services and processes and services one by one and discovered that if I stop the ‘print spooler’ service, everything comes back up to full speed.
I’m not sure wether it is Windoze or Photoshop at fault at this stage.
I’m posting this as an option to try if anyone else has the same problem and will post back if I find a permanent solution.
(Unless those nice Adobe Guys already know of a solution!)
