I am having a lot of problems with Photoshop CS3 hanging and crashing. Particularly when I open hi-res photos and click on tools, like the type tool. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
Thanks.

Buy more RAM, plain and simple. Sounds the program is severely suffocating. for on-screen display fonts need also be rasterized, which also costs RAM, even if they otherwise remain native vectors. How much memory do you have? as a short term solution, you may wish to increase the program’s RAM usage in the prefs, but it may not resolve the issues entirely.

That could be a bad font.

That will only make it worse, and even more so if there’s little RAM to begin with. Going beyond the default 55% is only advisable with 3 GB and up. Scratch disk is a better point of attack.
