Hey, can anyone help me with this??

I’ve recently upgraded from Photoshop CS to Photoshop CS2 and I a having a lot of trouble with it…the startup flash screen the progra has sticks a long time on the "reading text global resources part…which used to pass really fast on CS….ok, I can live with tha as long as the program doesn’t stall when I am workin on something!! it’s running great for some time, then it stops! and I have to wait an sometimes even close it (end now)…I need to know what’s going on because the rest of the Creative Suite 2 programs work perfectly on m PC, the only problem is with Photoshop!

HELP!

SOMEONE POSTED BACK THIS ON ANOTHER FORUM

-I would try uninstall everything, and re-installing it

Maybe there’s some older fies from CS or even and older photosho causing problems.

How fast is your PC? How much RAM?-

SO I ANSWERED BACK WITH THIS

that’s just it! I’ve done it twice…the first time I uninstalle everything I did it because I saw that the old version of Photosho (CS) stayed on my PC, it didn’t update itself, it made a ne installation of CS2…when I reinstalled it, the problem persisted…s I said, maybe there is a problem with my CS2 DVD…so I tried installin it on a friend’s PC and it worked great…so I looked for another cop of the CS2 DVD and nothing, the problem continues…

really don’t know what’s going on…

here are my computer specs:

Intel Pentium IV 2.8ghz processor
512 MB of RAM
120 GB hard drive (with 3 partitions)
Nvidia Geforce FX5200 128 MB video card (latest drivers)

I’ve consulted the minimum system requirements of Photoshop CS2 and have more than them…oh! really don’t know if this could be th problem, but the friend’s computer I installed my copy of CS2 on, eve though he has a smaller hard drive (40gb) and Pentium IV processo (2.2ghz), he has more RAM than me (he has 768 MB of RAM)…but I don’ know if this could be it…

HELP

trash your preferences file. that’s the first course of action whenever photoshop misbehaves. reinstalling does not reset the preferences file. more ram is always helpful, especially when running photoshop. 512 mb is minimum…more will certainly help. especially if you’re working with files larger than 50-100 mb. make sure existing memory is ok. keep your harddrive defraged.

It seems you have only one hard disc. Photoshop CS2 is more sensitive than previous versions (from my experience) to not having a saparate scratch disk, and having multiple partitions doesn’t solve this problem. It normally result in this typical "Excuse me, I will only do just nothoing for ages" behaviour :-), while Task Manager (in Windows) reports that the processor is idle.

And, of course, 512MB RAM doesn’t make disk trashing less frequent 🙂

Where are preferences stored, typically.
