I have two pc with both photoshop cs3
one is laptop acer 6292 intel core duo T7700 2.40 gh, 2gb ram the other is a tower with intel duo E6600 2.40 gh, 4 gb ram,raptor hd (faster than the average hd) , graphic board peak radeon x1950 gt 512mb, it means at leas faster, more powerful better cooling system etc ..
same OS xp pro
If I drag to open the application a 4mb jpg , the laptop takes 6 sec. the tower 18 sec. with cs 3 already open the same photo , laptop 3 sec. , tower 10 sec. open photoshop laptop 3 sec., tower 12.
there’s no big differences while working on pictures.
does anybodt can have a clue of what can be the reason and how can I fix it? thanks a lot

local printer? or networked? set the default system printer to something local.

and I noticed no matter the size of the images , low res or tiff, takes almost the same time to be open

Many presets (brushes, shapes…) on the tower?
Preferences set the same way? Both machines patched to the same version of PS? Same color settings? (convert to profile can be consuming)

thanks for your reply , I found out the problem . now I have to solve it. everything was exactly the same, but In the tower I had installed the printer drivers (epson R800) . I uninstalled them and now I open a 40 mega tiff in 2 seconds. so now I’ll ask to epson support.
thanks

This is a known bug and has been reported many times in the forum.

You can leave your printer installed.

The solution is to make a generic printer driver your default printer. If you don’t have one, download it here:
