Sounds like you have a bad install or a bad system.
Amazing how all of the problems are the fault of everyone and everything else. My god you would think Adobe walks on water and gets everything perfect every time. Frankly, I am getting tired of hearing about how everything is everyone else’s fault. Is Adobe ever going to assume responsibility for putting out product that causes user’s no end of problems with standard brand name components? I mean it isn’t like these people bought no-name Taiwanese cr*p from some computer show bargain bin in Hong Kong.

Chris Cox may be economical with his words, but those words are pointing the OP in the direction where a solution is most likely to be found.
Adobe can’t do house calls to trouble shoot their customers’ systems, any more than a car manufacturer should be held responsible for potholes in the owner’s driveway!
The only way to discover the value in any advice is to follow it.
Chris.
I’d suggest to the OP that he runs a disk check utility such as Spin Rite or some such, and make sure all the RAM in the machine is functioning properly.
There also may be a problem on one of the boards, if the machine heats up and then starts to misbehave, you could have a cold solder joint or something.
Robert I read and post on these forums because I like to strike up a dialogue with intelligent and mature people who have helped me and many others in the past and I in turn like to help where I can. I think it’s counter productive to rant on as you have done in several posts, you are obviously a man who is not happy with himself or Adobe. Try contributing and posting something positive and helping more often, by having a more positive attitude yourself and contributing in a more mature way you may actually enjoy it! There are enough whingers in the world.
I have intel’s desktop utility running and have not had any heat or other problems when this ocures with PS. Also no other programs have any proplems or slow downs at the time this happens to PS. Only PhotoShop is affected, the rest of windows runs smooth, even while PS is slowing down and losing gui elements.

Nice analogy Chris but how about the situation when the car is actually making the potholes (not saying that is the case here but it sure can happen in the software business).

That would be down to having a driveway not robust enough to take the latest model. <g>
David,
what type of file were you working on, and is there a way you can send it to me to run some tests?
You can contact me directly at ajerugim at adobe dot com or travlin_adam at yahoo dot com.
Thanks,

So far it has only happened when I’ve had multiple files open in PS. Been working with normal jpgs and multi-layer PS files made from them. Sizes range from 4-6 megapixel images.
