hello all,

have patiently read all the posts on the forum about the slow issues and supossedly how to fix them (kapersky etc..). I have yet to be able to configure photoshop cs4 64bit to run smoothly..

here is my config…
Dell Precision Covet m6400
Vista 64
Quad-core qx9300
8gb ram
nvidia quadro fx 3700m 1gb
2x320gb 7.2k drives raid 0

cs4 64 should run like a dream on this machine… it doesn’t..

What problems i get.
——————–
General refresh issues, lag, panels done’t minimise maximise smoothly, can’t drag layers smoothly from one document tab to another. When i try and close the document tabs they take ages to close. When i open nvidia control panel in tandem to having photoshop open to see whats going on the animated logo jitters and does not rotate smoothly when i move my mouse over it…

What i have done to try and solve the issues.
———————————————–
Uninstalled and re installed numerous times.
Uninstalled and re installed Dell’s nvidia driver and other drivers from laptopvideo2go. Unistalled eset node 32 64bit
Changed gpu setting in performance menu…

CS3 runs ok though…

please please please does anybody have any ideas on what may be the cause..?

many many thanks i’d be more than happy to test anything you have to try and sort out these issues. the 3700m is nvidias flagship mobile workstation card and photoshop should rock on it…
