I recently upgraded to vista 32bit - using Photoshop CS3. Overall - the performance is great, there's usually no lag time when I do my day to day work -- However.. when I use my tablet or use line tool / pen tool - it lags considerably. Meaning - there are little freezes that happen when you use the tools - and I mean even on the smallest documents.. my ram meter shoots up to 99% used.
I've done a lot of tests to see what causes this but i'm unable to come up with any answers.
I have the latest drivers, updates, and a pretty fast rig (E6600 o/c to 3.0 Ghz, 4 gb DDR2800 dual channel, 150 gb Raptor drives, geforce 8800 GTX).
I've tried CS2 as well and am having the same problems. I've had no such problems on XP professional. Any ideas? thanks in advance.

I am also having the same problems with both CS2 and CS3. I am running Vista 32bit. I have all the latest drivers/updates. The system is a Intel 6600 on a Gigabyte P35-DS3P board with 4GB Ram. I also have geforce 8600 GT vid card.
Please Help.

Your problems with the Wacom and Vista is just the tip of the ice burge. I can't get my tablet to work and according tot he lead engineer at Wacom now that Vista has been out for awhile they are seeing more and more and more problems. They are working on it, but still have no joy. I would contact them and see if they can help and if not at least let them know of the problems you are having. The chances are it is Vista and the drivers that are causing this and not Photoshop.

The best thing you can do is to get rid of Vista. It damned near put me out of business with incompatibility issues!!!

I wouldn't say it nearly put me out of business, but it has wasted a lot of valuable time - getting things to work properly.
Honestly - reading some of these other posts, I don't understand how you can complain about 'print' problems in CS3 Vista, when you can't even use the pathing tools without your computer lagging.
Deebs and those who replied.. there isn't an answer - i've done my research and the best thing to do is wait. No, forget that - screw Vista.

I had the same problem. Strange jerky cursor lags in CS3. Upgrading my Nvidia vga card (7600GT) driver, also my Logitech mouse driver, and my Intuos3 driver fixed it. I am running 32bit Vista too.

My problem is similar but doesn't seem to effect PhotoShop CS only. I've used "Enditall.exe" to close all programs one at a time, hoping to find the cause, but so far no luck. However, I have found one program new to Vista "Media Center Media Status Aggregator Service" that runs in the background to automatically update display changes in Vista. Every time I try to end it, it reloads. Do you think this could be the cause?
