Please forgive me for adding this topic, but the FAQ section did not seem to cover it. From reading the forums, it is easy to get the impression that this may have been a "Pentium III" hardware problem, instead of a simple fix.
Photoshop 7 was running fine on my PC (Win 2000, Pentium III) but then it started to have problems: it would lock up during most operations, such as looking at the Image Size menu, Save, Save As, or looking at most menu items. Basically, it became unusable. Even un-installing PS7 and re-loading PS7, and updating to PS7.0.1 did not help.
Happily, the fix was to clear the preferences file by pressing Shift-Alt-Ctrl while Photoshop was loading up. I guess the preferences files must have been corrupted. The Windows un-install did not delete the preferences files, so the re-install did not help any.
best regards,
Steve Eborall
