I have a few problems with Photoshop CS2 9.0.1 on Windows XP Pro SP2
Sometimes, when I open Photoshop, preferences are lost and back to default. This includes position and size of palettes, extra plugins folder, list of recent files, levels of history and basically all the settings in Preferences windows, but not custom brushes, actions, styles, etc.
The other problem is Photoshop sometimes freezes for a while. I have noticed these freezes are related with color palette issues. They happen when I Double click on the color boxes to create a new color, or when I use the color picker or ALT key with the paint tools, or simply when pressing "X" key to swap foreground and background colors. This doesn’t happens every time I try to change a color, but sometimes, normally the first time I use them or after a while using the program or when I return to Photoshop after using another program (but this is nether an exact rule. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not) so I suspect it has something to do with virtual memory.
Mi computer has an AMD ATHLON 64 3800+, 2 GB of RAM, about 100 GB of free hard disk (NTFS) and a gForce 7300 GS with 512 MB of video RAM on a PCI Express x16 with ForceWare 84.21, so I think it fits CS2 requirements by far.
If this helps, I have cache levels set to 6 and max memory use to 55%
