Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Sounds like a common problem enough eh? Yeah? Well no, and this started happening when I began to practice Vector art with masks and the good ol’ pen tool three days ago. It happens RANDOMLY, may happen 5 minutes in, may happen 15 minutes in– whatever the case it happens at least 10 times a day and it is incredibly frustrating. A lot can happen in a minute when you haven’t saved. By the way my document is only 1680×1050 resolution, 75dpi, and is only 7mb big.
I have had Adobe Photoshop CS4 since November, it was okay–my photoshop 7 would not install on vista so oh well! Photoshop CS4 is pretty nice, after disabling vertical sync to prevent brush lag.. anyways fellas, to the point.
My Computer specs:
Intel Core2 Quad q6600 @ 2.4ghz/core, 4mb cache
4.0gb (Actually 3.3gb being read, damn 32bit)Ram 1100hz, I forget latency? Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX superclocked 780mhz
Seagate Harddrive SATA 7200rpm
Wacom Bamboo Tablet 6×4
SO! My computer is not the best but it is certainly rather powerful! So what’s going on? I have Norton protecting me, no viruses or spyware, and I have not installed anything recently that would affect it besides Left 4 Dead but that was 3 weeks ago (awesome game btw, superMEIKO is my steam ID if you want)
Here’s what I tried:
-Set page file to minimum 4gb to maximum 14gb.
-Uninstalled (completely, no registry files leftover or w/e) all drivers and photoshop and everything– then reinstalled with everything up to date
-Updated drivers for wacom tablet
-Tried the user administration thing, where you change user accounts, didn’t work -Disabling everything non-microsoft in my startup and services, nothing -Overclocking my graphics card–just in case, nothing
SO! My experts, please help a fellow photoshopper out! I am suffering here!
