PS is crashing while using. No clear repeat of when and causes my computer to be unable to "end process". I have to do a hard restart.

Using trial version of photoshop and this is not helping when deciding to purchase.

Using Vista Ultimate. ATI Radion HD 2400 (I’ve updated the driver)

I’ve disabled the Open GL checkbox.

I’ve been using PS CS 1 before this and I may just keep using it since it’s stable. Love to upgrade but not with this headache.

CS4 is completely screwed up.
I actually bought the darn thing and uninstalled it because it was constantly screwing up.
I was never able to trust that I would actually be able to finish an image before it crashed.
Not to mention how slow it was.
Simple things like zooming in and out was slow.
And I have the best and the greatest and all that stuff when it comes to hardware.
So I am now a recovered CS4 user.

What version of Vista? Any security tools running? Does your system event log provide any more info?

Using Vista Ultimate. Not sure about security since this is a work computer and I don’t know the PC (I’m a Mac Person using a PC by force).

Where would I find the "event log"?

In Vista just type "event" in the search box under the start button and you’ll see it listed.
