Unable to drag or move large images around Photoshop CS3. As I open more images the problem increases until at around 4-8 images, PS will crash. Also, while working on an image, as I add layers and increase the history list, it becomes unstable and may crash. I can’t trust it to work thru an image without loosing my work.
If I try to drag the image around, it will completely blank out–I can’t see where I’m moving it to.
If I make the image (or images) smaller it DOES help.
The more(or larger) images that are open, the worse it gets until it finally will crash PS CS3. This does NOT happen on CS2 installed on the same computer. It works fine.
I’ve tried all of fixes I can find in this forum.
Replaced preference file
Version cure disabled
Font preview disabled
Memory and cache changed up, down and sideways
Latest video drivers
All updates to OS and PS
Uninstalled and re-installed PS
Chants at midnight
XP Pro SP3 (didn’t work with SP2 either)
4 gigs ram with dual core processor
Nvida 7900GS 256mb video ram
Wacom with latest drivers
I’ve been fighting this for months. It’s never worked properly. I’m willing to buy a new video card if someone can verify that they have had this same problem and it’s helped. But if it’s the video card, why does CS2 work fine?
I can load CS2 up with a dozen large images (RAW 10mb images), move, work, add layers–runs smooth as silk.
Can’t help but think there is a bug in CS3.
Any help out there or Adobe techs willing to work with me in resolving this?
Thanks
