Photoshop CS3 & VISTA

[sheep2001]

Does anybody else have problems with Photoshop freezing up for minutes at a time in VISTA?

Sometimes I am talking like 5 minutes or so before I regain control - all other open programs run fine - it's just Photoshop.......driving me nuts!!!!!

It's not spyware/viri/another program running with it - tried all sorts of combinations.

i have CS2 but yes mine does freeze from tme to time but never for that long.
Mine freezes for about 30 seconds every once and a while.

FYI: i have a laptop w/ 2gig ram

Sometimes get a "not responding" for 30 secs to s minute,normally when im cutting up big files though...

I have 2 gigs too.

Guess it's something I have to live with until an update sorts it.  The not responding does last from 30 secs to about 5 minutes though.

Have been reading lots of stuff online about it - and no known cures (lots of suggestions like cutting down on fonts, and running as admin, etc - but no definate answer) - Never had the problem running under XP.

Xp is better than Vista, wish i could donwgrade.

Vista take up something like 700ish mb of ram alone! 
meaning you are screwed with only 1 gig of ram, thats whay i upgraded to 2 gigs
 
so 700 mb of ram taken up and a program as powerful as CS3 both running could cause problems

If you have any sort of option, upgrade to XP or Linux now! On my old PC, I'm running a hack of XP popular on BitTorrent sites called TinyXP that boots in 30 seconds with 128 MB RAM. Way faster than my newer PC. If only I could install TinyXP on my newer machine... *drool*

Well placed DOOM... Vista to XP is an UPGRADE!

I actually happen to like Vista when its run on hardware that can support it.
