    I haven't been able to do ANYTHING in Photoshop CS2. I have been noticing a very sudden decline in my Photoshop's preformance. It is very slow and can barley complete anything. It wont click on anything, and it takes FOREVER to load. And when it doesn't work I have to click a few times and then it turns all solid colors instead of multy colors. Then once it finally loads I can't click again. I have removed TONS of pointless things that hogged memory and I didn't need. I removed like 2.3GB of programs and this stupid stuff still does it.

    Is there ANWAY that I can make this faster.


    Thanks for your help,
    Nick.

    ok 72gb of ram is impossible


    you have 72 gb a hdd space


    to find out your ram open up My Computer nad on the left side pane click on View System Information

    then when it load at the bottom it'll tell you how much ram you have

    I had 2,000, and it went fine after I upgraded to 1gb of ram.

    Either get more ram or go back to CS1...

    Here is how to speed up photoshop
    1. Buy as much ram as possible
    2. Use a seperate hard drive for photoshop. PS write alot of invisible files.
    3. ALWAYS ALWAYS keep spyware/adware clean

    1GB is still not enough for PSCS2. I have 2GB and that works fine. And that sure would be good if I had 72GB of ram. FAST!
