I have a dual boot Intel 9950 quad with 8 gigs of ram on Vista 64. PSCS4 is installed on both sides.

One one side starting PSCS4 loads the program, but it is basically dysfunctional–can’t load images, can’t even exit the program–until, that is, I click on a tool, any tool. Then it functions perfectly. If I load Bridge 3 first, and send an image to PS, it also will work perfectly. It took some time and effort to discover this workaround.

On the other side of the dual boot, it loads and works perfectly from the get go.

Is there possibly some setting that I may have inadvertently set on the problem side that would have caused this?

Thanks in advance.
