Does it freeze, or just hang for a while until your network printer times out?
Hi Chris,to answer your question neither, when I attempt to open a picture file I get a window saying photoshop stop working and this closes the program. Program remaains stable as long as I don’t attemp to open a picture file. Thanks for your concern…Craig
Does the same thing happen if you create a new document?
What about if you don’t open a document, but let Photoshop sit for 5 minutes after launch?
Chris, using a new document I get the same result Photoshop cs3 just closes.If I don’t open a document CS3 is stable until I close it….Craig
You never said it "just closes" – you said Windows gave you a "stopped responding" error.
But, it still sounds like your printer driver is crashing or timing out.
Chris,reading your comment I shut down my printer still get same result, I disabled my printer drivers I get same result. Every now and then I can open a picture. When I open a second picture it crashes telling me that the program stop working. Any suggestion at this point…..by the way thanks for the help……Craig
it could be that it’s windows update at fault, go to Control Panel->Programs and Features->View Installed Updates, sort them by date by clicking on "Installed On" and uninstall the most recently installed updates
Zeno, thanks for input but that didn’t work. Funny thing about this is some time I can open 2 or three photos at a time before it crash and other time all it takes is the first picture file…….Craig
Well, when stuff stops working it means that something happened that made it go haywire so what did you install/configure/do before this happened? have you installed some photoshop plugins? updated some drivers? installed some new software?
Zeno and Chis much thanks for help. It appear to be the printer driver. Just have to change the driver on printer and I should be good to go….Thanks …Craig
