Whenever I paste an object from Illustrator to Photoshop, usually around the point Photoshop tries to rasterize the graphic, the entire computer freezes or shuts down immediately. There’s no application error or BSOD– it just completely dies.
Important Notes:
– Both Illustrator and Photoshop are perfectly stable aside from this problem. There are no random crashes or freezes. No other behavior in either application appears to result in a freeze/crash, with an occasional exception occuring when creating custom brushes. However, when pasting from Illustrator, it freezes like clockwork.
– I had this problem since I originally installed Photoshop and Illustrator CS. The problem persisted when I recently upgraded to CS2, and persists even after updating Photoshop CS2 to 9.0.2.
– I’m running a Windows XP Service Pack 2 PC with 2 GB RAM and a 2.3 GHz AMD CPU.
– My scratch disk is set to a non-boot drive with 232 GB available.
This error is DESTROYING my ability to work from home and every fix I’ve attempted has failed. PLEASE help salvage my Adobe software from near uselessness (since I heavily use Illustrator and Photoshop together and rarely separately).
Thanks.
