Hello, I've had this problem since i installed photoshop cs4, and its finally getting on my nerves and i'm looking for a fix.

I am on Windows XP SP3, NVIDIA 8800GTS. The OPENGL Drawing in Photoshop CS4 works fine, but a lot of times, when i start photoshop, it'll say that OPENGL Drawing is disabled and i'll have to go in to preferences and re-endabe and restart photoshop again to get it working. Please help, it's really annoying

Try the nVidia beta driver which is available now. It worked for me. Roger

What was released Jan 16 as Forceware 181.22 beta appears to have been released officially, today on Jan 22, as Forceware 181.22 WHQL.

NVIDIA apparently does not update their drivers specifically to correct Photoshop CS4 incompatibilities. There release notes have never mentioned bugs or fixes relating to Photoshop.

Try setting the 3D settings to Performance (rather than Quality) in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
