I have a new laptop using Vista. It has twice the memory and speed of my last laptop. It takes much longer to open a file in CS3 compared to my other laptop, however once a file is open it runs faster. Is there a setting that I’m missing or is it a Vista thing.

Thanks for your help,

Allen

I have no idea. What is Aero and where is it located?

Thanks

Josh,

I found and disabled Aero and it seemed to have no effect on speed.

define a "local" printer as the system default. (not a network printer).

Dave,

That was amazing. I don’t know how or why but it made a huge difference. Is it a Vista thing?

Thanks again for your help,

No it’s a CS3 thing.

One of many!
