I’m running PS 7.0.1 on a non-networked PIII, 600 mHz, 512 RAM, 120gig Firewire drive, Win98. Despite my elderly computer, PS has always performed admirably, with no crashing. I don’t work with files much larger than 10-15 megs, usually much smaller.
Suddenly the Blending Options menu takes 45 seconds (at least) to come up. It gives the appearance that PS has gone dead on me. It’s the same whether I right-click or double-click on a layer style, each and every time. Resetting Prefs hasn’t fixed it.
I’ve read where others have had the same problems, and even reinstalling PS hasn’t helped. Someone with XP and a faster computer has had the same problem (only the stall doesn’t last as long).
During the stall, I’m not seeing/hearing any hard disk activity.
Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance.
