CS does a couple of things once the splash screen is gone, and the interface is fully visible. Watch your pointer, which will pop up as the hourglass a few times. Because I was used to the way that earlier versions opened, I’d get to hitting my File>Open (Recent), as soon as the splash was gone. CS is still loading and doing whatever it is, that it does. Now, I just get another sip of coffee, and let it alone for about 30 sec. and all is fine. I do not know if it’s phoning home, dialing up Bill Gates, or something totally different, but it does take a few extra seconds to get ready for the operator to take over. That hourglass is not constant, either. It flicks on (about twice on my machine), and even with the normal cursor up, is just not set to go, for a bit.

Only advice that I can offer is to be patient – about 30sec on my box.

Yes, I found a similar problem, such that it crashed on me a couple of times. The problem I found was the new "what do you want to do?" screen that opens inside the main PS Window. Killing that with the "don not show this in future" check box, and a little patience, solved the problem.

Yes, after installing, removal of those "wizards" is my first task, even before setting Preferences. The same goes for software, plug-ins, etc. that give me a "tip of the day." If I’m not really working, I’ll cycle through the tips, which can sometimes be very interesting, but then turn the little boogers off. I had forgotten that PS (like all the CS programs) has those now, because mine went away on first use. There is still some activity that goes on in the beginning. I took close note of it, since the OP. I get two very quick "hourglasses," then the program is mine. As I have an "always-on" wireless connection on that particular machine, I assume that PS is making a connection to Adobe, checking for updates, and the like – or uploading all of my US currancy images to the FBI… 🙂

Thanks for the validation,

<g> I’ve always wondered why greenbacks are all, well, green. Don’t they have any other colour inks at the US Treasury? Or did they do a bulk buy in 1890 or something? 😉

I really feel sorry for the FBI if they are looking at my pics 🙂

Unless, of course, they have excedingly good taste and sophistication
