I don’t see a section for CS3, so I will post here.
As far as I am concerned I have been hammered for $2,400 for a crap program.
I would like to be proven wrong.
Perhaps there is something I can do to stop the continual freezes, crashes, inconstances that occur in every program in the CS3 Suite.
As this is the Photoshop section, I will stick to one major problem that discourages me from even opening anything on it:
It takes ages to open a simple 400×600 jpeg file.
Here’s my specs:
-Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600)
-3072 RAM
-2 Harddrives with over 300 gigs each (I’m only using one at the moment) -NVIDIA Geforce 8500 GT Graphics Card
-Vista Home Edition
I am at the end of my rope here.
I’m considering backing up all the files (a 40 minute movie I’ve hair-pullingly, finally copied to DVD *couldn’t use After Effects at all**the Interviews section wouldn’t accept .gif images over the video**etc,etc.)and reformating the PC and re-installing XP.
Is this my only option, or is it Vista at all?
And I don’t want to hear ‘it works fine for me’ or get some obscure link to some page with 100 FAQ that I’m expected to sort through.
Holy Jesus, twenty four hundred dollars for the privilage of re-visiting the ’90s UI experience. woopie.
If you’ve ever felt my pain, and can help, I would be most appreciative. I’m hoping it’s a typical PEBKAC situation that can remedied by changing my Graphics Card or something.
Thanks for your time
