This is a minor but annoying problem that has just popped up. I am using CS3 extended on a Win XP, SP2, 1GB RAM, plenty of hard drive space and a new video card with the latest drivers.
Here is the problem. After I have used the CS3 Bridge for a while and just let it sit for a while, the items in the sys tray or the task bar are completely unusable. When I click on them, they don’t respond. Even the CS3 and Bridge will not respond. It is as if the task bar has been frozen. I can still open PS CS3 or bridge by using Alt + Tab to tab through them but the address window and other systray items are unuseable. If I quit out of BR, all returns to normal. Then after I use BR for a while and leave it for a while, the task bar seems to freeze. I will frequently want to go to the internet to search something while working in BR, but can’t do that.
I haven’t seen any other reported instances of this happening to anyone else so maybe it is just my machine misbehaving with BR. There is no problem with PS CS3. Any clues?
