Ok So I upgraded ... reformatted and got a fresh copy of Vista Home Premium Installed on my Fujitsu Laptop Intel Dual 2 Core 1.66Ghz 2GB RAM Ati-Radeon x1400 Graphics (i know it is old...) Plenty of Empty Space on my HD ...around 120GB out of 160GB ... PS takes such a long ass time to open up about 1 minute ++++ And to open up a 43kb .gif sprite it took a good 30 - 40 seconds and my .psd files...more than a minute to open PLUS every time I do something like smudge, brush, erase, pen tool, or paste a c4d render and try to move it...it freezes for about 15 seconds... It is really slow and i cannot do anything...on my computer... well in PS I cant do anything I have tons to do, a project for a friend, and personal stuff.. HELP ME!? :mellow: -Z
2GB is enough for both VIsta and Phtooshop... My Graphics card driver..hm... Maybe I should upgrade it let me try that -Zain
By the looks of it sounds like a bad install.if that don't work try using it in safe moDe and see if it has the same problem
It runs fine now B) But a little bit slowness when I click on the Hide Layer 'eye' but it works fine after like 10 seconds of opening Thanks...should've thought of that in the first place.. -Zain
I've been using CS3 on Vista for over 6 months now and this has never happened to me. I think there are too many processes running in the background. For starters download any startup management software and try to limit the softwares running at startup. You can also try msconfig command in run.
OEM's dont supply you with enough ram in vista which is where much of the "OMG TOO SLOW! RESOURCE WHORE!!" comments come from, anything over 2gb should be fine.
