CS3 windows icons, slow to open

Hi
I have CS3.  In windows explorer, when I right click on a graphics file such as a .pdf, it now takes a long time to open.  Because Adobe prepares a snapshot of that image.  But all I really want to do is to rename the file, I don't need to see the image.  IS there a way to tell Adobe to stop this?
Thanks
Steve

That is not normal. A complete reinstall may be the best approach.  This is what should happen when right clicking in Explorer:

    Windows Vista ultimate
    250GB HD
    768MB ram disk

    how to solve this problem?

    This is a known bug and has been reported many times in the forum.
    The solution, weird as it sounds, is to make a generic printer driver your default printer. If you don't have one, download it here:

  • Shared file from computer with Windows 7 slow to open and save on computer with Windows 8.1

    I have three computers in homegroup. They can see each other and sharing files is not a problem. Main computer, where I have all my data on uses Windows 7 Home premium, and Office 2007. Both other computers use latest version Windows 8.1, Office 2010. I
    use these two computers to access files on main computer (word, excel). I have problems, because when I try to open word and excel files on these two other computers, files open very slow (green bar is showing, although word has no text inside), and also saves
    very slow - empty word file takes 1 minute for saving.
    One of computers with 8.1 had 8 before updating and I managed to solve this problem with running this protocol (smb.bat) - this solved the problem, although I do not really understand why:
    sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
    sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
    So it seems it is really something to do with the version of windows since the same computer had windows 8 and this protocol and worked well, but when updated to 8.1 it works slowly (I tried this protocol, but it is not working)
    Please see if there is any solution (updated protocol?) because I really cannot wait for word file to open 1 minute.
    Thank you for help!

    Hi,
    First, You can leave the homegroup and join again to see the result.
    To leave a homegroup:
    1.Open HomeGroup by typing homegroup in the search box, and then clicking HomeGroup.
    2.Click Leave the homegroup.
    3.Click Leave the homegroup, and then click Finish.
    You can also join the homegroup in the way accordingly.
    Besides, this happens after a upgrade to Windows 8.1, this also might be caused by service conflict, I suggest to perform a clean boot to solve this:
    1.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.
    2.Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click msconfig.
    3.On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then tap or click Disable all.
    4.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager.
    5.On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click Disable.

  • CS3 Illustrator: Extreme slow with opening file

    Hi all,
    I have the following problem on a Win XP desktop pc with 2Gb RAM:
    When opening a file in Illustrator it takes up to 2 minutes before the file opens. During that time the program hangs (not responding).
    The problem started last week, but before there were no problem with it.
    I already browsed around a bit on the internet for a solution. I removed all the offline printers. But no change. At this moment there is only one HP officejet 7400 installed and connected.
    Any thoughts on what goes wrong here?
    All help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello Harron,
    First of all, thanks for your reply!
    In the beginning it seemed the problem was with several files but not all files. After further investigation this morning (with the user by my side) it seemed that all the files who have the problem are versions of eachother. Other non-related files open fine, so I guess we can conclude that the problem is file related. For now, this is ok for the user, if it is only this file, as she will only have to edit the file a few more times before finishing it.
    Opening Illustrator without opening a file was no problem.
    Thanks again.

  • Gray Sidebar Icons, Slow Application File Open/Save in OS-X 10.7

    I hate the gray sidebar icons in Mac OS-X. I am a very visual person and every clue, including color, helps. I don't understand why Apple has found it necessary to take a giant step backward in time. Perhaps soon they will reintroduce black and white monitors.
    Anyway, I downloaded a pluging that restores colors to the finder windows, but not the application file open/save dialogs. Also, many times the application open/save dialog windows are slow to load the sidebar window; i.e. I can't do anything until they load the the folders, files, and devices available to open.
    Does anyone have a fix for this? Does anyone know if Apple plans to restore colored icons?
    Thanks - Bill

    Try rebuilding Finder prefs....
    Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash these files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    Then, restart, or log out and in again.
    (You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
    EDIT: Could it be whatever app you're using for the FInder windows that's causing that slowness?

  • IPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

    What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
    I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

  • Photoshop CS3 Slow to Open Images

    I've just converted to win7 and have PS CS3 installed.  When I do an update check, there are no updates for photoshop available, so I believe I'm  current.  If I open an image jpg via the file menu, or bridge, or using ACDSee, the image files (or files) are slow to open.  If can usually see a message up in the photoshop title bar (where the logo is followed by "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended") where it will briefly say "not responding".  This started with going to win7.  It will take 20 seconds or more to open a jpg and these are not giant files.
    Under Options/Performance, I've indicated to Let Photoshop use 1194MB which is the top of the ideal range.  The range that photoshop indicates as ideal never changes, no matter whether photoshop is running alone or with other  apps.  I've indicated scratch disks on my E and C drives, with E being the first listed.  E have over 500 gb of free space and C has over 190gb free.  History states are 20 and cache is 6.  GPU settings for my NVidia GE Force 8800 video card has enable 3D acceleration checked.
    I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to optimize.  I never had this problem in vista using CS3.

  • Mac user OS 10.6.8 Firefox 6.0.2. Click the Firefox icon in dock, program does not open new window. Type cmd+N to open new window, cmd+T to open new tab or cmd+L to enter URL, nothing happens. What causes this, and what can be done?

    It's strange. The problem apparently resolved itself after I ran TechTool on it. When I clicked on Firefox last night, I had no problem opening a window. Thanks for your help. (As to your previous post, the focus was on Firefox and neither the speed keys nor the menu bar would open a window or tab of allow me to enter a URL to open a window. Strange!)

  • Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share?

    Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share?   We use a Windows Server for graphics storage and I can open the share just fine, but when I attempt to open folders within that share it takes sometimes as long at 15 minutes to display the contents of the folders.  This happend before and I switched to the other NIC port, but now it is doing it in both.  I can open other connections to Windows SMB shares with no problem.

  • CS4 apps are VERY slow to open Windows file browser with File Open or File Save As commands

    We are running CS4 on Windows 7 with all available updates installed.   Photoshop and the other CS4 applications are VERY slow to open a Windows file browsing window to select files when File Open or File Save As menu options are run -- it can take as long as a minute or two for the window to open.  Once the window opens and a file is selected, then opening or saving the file is very quick.  The location of the default directory, whether it is on a local drive or a network drive, makes no difference.  Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

    The link that I posted earlier is off.  Read this one
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2501584.  I discovered in my network that the MS Office File Validation Patch made excel crawl when opening over the network though nothing else changed. At the time I was opening Excel on Office 2003.
    You can manually turn this off by editing the registry and tunring it off.  Going forward I skipped the patch to keep my sanity.  Not sure if this is the same as your issue, but the support article will go into detail how to either have Fix it
    clear the issue or change the proper registry keys.
    Hope this helps

  • Very slow to open new window

    How to fix very slow opening window. I have vista 64. Since the last foxfire update it is very slow to open new windows. It can take some windows opening over a minute to open. (yes minutes not seconds)
    Once a window is open I can open in new tab with no problem, but not with new window. (I like to have many windows open at a time)
    When l click to open a new window either from a link or new window, it seems that nothing is happening. Then clicking to open another one which seems to open faster. Then all of a sudden the first window decides to open after about a minute or so. Sometime it seems to hang longer than other times.

    I did try the safe mode and didn't work. I did make iexplorer my default and then back again to foxfire and it somewhat worked. It was work not bad (but not as good as before) until I rebooted and it seemed the more I used it the better it became. Go figure :)
    Well I just did another firefox update to 4 and it works perfect and maybe even better than before. (or I got use to how slow it was :) )
    Thank You for you quick reply and I'm very happy for the new update... So far so good.
