NO WAY!
have the EXACT same problem in CS2 and it used to work just fine on the same machine. I have tried re-installing and it still does it!
that is too weird!
For CS2 are you patched to 9.0.2?
Bob
yes, 9.0.2 exactly, seems like i got the problem when i did the upgrade.
thank you for your response though.
have yet to find any good info on this strange matter.
I have put the scratch disk on D and allocated more ram to CS2 and still have these problems. I hope someone can help me, i love photoshop and hate to have to wait for it to load
Ok… I am really confused now.
After having done nothing more than changing my icon for photoshop, it now does not freeze up when creating a new document… go figure. I realize that the two events are completely unrelated, but I wanted to express the speraticness of this problem.
one thing I did differently, I opened an existing JPG instead of creating a new document and from that point on, it does not freeze up. what do you think?
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HERE WITH CS3 !!!!
It used to work just fine and since I installed the network printer it took me more than 10 seconds to open a new document in photoshop.
I JUST CHANGED THE DEFAULT PRINTER AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY !

Make sure your default printer is not a networked printer
it solved my problem. THANKS !!!

Wow, that was my same problem – CS3 was slow (30 seconds) just to open a JPG – after making another printer the default it now only takes a few seconds to open. The printers that caused the problem were any of my printers on Linksys print servers on my LAN… I’m running XP Pro
CS3 running on XP home would not open ANY files without crashing and wanting to send a error report. It would not even create a brand new file without exhibiting the same behavior. I do not have any network printers, but I did remember my default printer is a vinyl plotter that is not hooked up to the computer all the time. (and wasn’t when I started having the problem) I changed my default printer to adobe PDF and the problem was solved. Thanks for leading me in the right direction. This was getting very frustrating.
I put up my experience just in case others are having trouble opening or creating ANY files. It is likely the same issue as those who have trouble opening only certain file types.
I was experiencing random annoying freezes in Photoshop CS3 recently (hadn’t happened before). I discovered that they only happened when I was working on files residing on another computer on our home network. Obviously a lower-level networking problem.
When I copied the files to my own computer to work on, the problems went away.
Thanks all of u,
I worked on this for 2 days, did not figure out the problem. then I read the forum, turn down network printer and the problem is solved. I am using pdf complete as default printer.
Adobe should highlight such issues in Performance OR support documents.
thanks once again.

That would be nice.
