DW CS3 slow to open files

Hi...
Apart from the image appearing anddisappearing problems
posted in this forum... i find that CS3 takes ages to open a simple
file...
Meaning... the file as such opens but the design view takes
ages to become visible... DW8 was much, much faster... Is this a
case of the tortoise losing the race? :-)
Cheers,
JJ

Photoshop CS3 slow to open files

I have looked at all the answers i can find so far on this and other forums, but have not yet been able to effect a solution, so please bear with me, and hopefully someone can assist further.
The problem is that opening files is painfully slow - having read about the issue with network printers (which I don't have) I have deleted everything listed under printers and re-installed the only printer that I have (which is locally attached via USB, but I deleted it in case Adobe thought is was a network printer).
I have tried to create a generic printer (as recommended by Mr Joslin to jangel2 http://forums.adobe.com/message/2657130#2657130), but the installation failed and no additional printers were visible in control panel/printers.
I am running Windows 7 on a Dell desktop, with plenty of memory etc.
I have a number of external hard drives, and have turned all these on so Photoshop can find them in case it's looking, but this made no difference.
I am at a loss and hope someone can help.
Many thanks
Lizzie

Hi All, Apologies for the radio silence and many thanks for your responses.
A techy friend of mine came round and changed loads of settings, restored to a previous point (prior to the windows upgrade) to no avail, and decided that the whole system needed rebuilding. Rather dejected, we searched the internet once more for possible solutions (this time under the heading "slow printing from Photoshop Epson" - although it was not the printing per se that was slow, just the loading of the file).
This is the fix that we found: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=48960.0
The relevant text from the forum (in case the link doesnt work) is:
"I spoke with both Photoshop and Epson support guys and was able to come up with a fix (from Epson). The fix involved deleting a hidden file in a hidden folder called Program Data on the C:\ drive. The file had an extension of .AUD and was 40 megabytes in size. It was the only file with the .aud extension. Once I deleted that file, all of my problems went away. The Epson support guy said that this file has caused problems in the past. He thinks that the file is generated by the system and just keeps getting larger and larger until everything grinds to a halt. To access hidden folders in Windows Explorer, click on the Tools tab, click on Folder options, click on View. Under the heading "Hidden Folders and files" click on "Show Hidden Folders and files". You will then be able to access the folder "Program Data". In the folder called "Program Data" you will find a folder titled "Epson". In the Epson folder is a folder called "Printer". In the printer folder is the file (In my case anyway) called "EPAUDF01.AUD. When I deleted the file (that had swollen to 40 megabytes), the system (or the Epson Printer program... I'm not sure which), generated a new file that was 2 kilobytes in size, after I had restarted my machine. I keep monitoring the file to see if it changes size, but so far it hasn't."
Having deleted the file *.AUD, Photoshop loaded images as fast as lightning.
Thought this would be of use to you all, and thank you once again.

EXTREMELY slow to open files - Illustrator CC 2014!

Hi,
I just updated from Maverick to Yosemite 10.10.1
See my system config on this monosnap link:
http://take.ms/2CAxh
I have installed the latest Illustrator CC - 18.1.1
See monosnap link:
http://take.ms/lgqj0
I have a big problem everytime I try to open a file from within Illustrator CC!
When try to open a new folder (with few or meny files) it TAKES FOREVER for Illustrator to render the files in the folder. (Aprox 2-5 minutes...).
Everything on the machine freezes - it's like a big hang! - but after the loooong wait the hang kind of releases and I can see all files in the folder and can open and go on with the job...
When I do exactly the same but from within Photoshop CC (2014.2.2) everything works smooth, quick and fine!
I have turned of Yosemite transparance, checked that I have Verdana installed.
What more can I do???
Please help - this problem is extremely tedious to have!

Hi Evil Lair Bear,
have You find a solution and solved the problem (besides the embedding idea)?
I still have the same problem = extreeemly slow to open files from within Illustrator 18.1.1
We have tons of old illustrator files dating back so far as Illustrator 3.2...
It's impossible fur us at the studio to reopen all old files and embedding pics...
Now we alla have to have to do the annoying work around "find and open the files in finder"...
This is driving me nuts...
Any help would be magic! ;-)

DW CS3 no longer opens files from SourceSafe

Dreamweaver CS3 no longer opens files from Visual SourcesSafe
2005 when you right-click and choose to View with DW, even if DW is
the registered application.
DW receives the focus, but nothing happens.
This used to function with DW 8. I have tried it on two
machines, both of which were fresh installs, so could not be
conflicting with DW 8 in anyway.
Is this a known bug?
Matt

It seems this is a known issue with Dreamweaver. I was able to access the files just fine by deselecting "display external links" in the view menu. Strange that I did not have to do this before.
For anyone interested, here are some links about this: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=12&catid=18 9&threadid=1262486&highlight_key=y&keyword1=design%20mode and http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401608&sliceId=1

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.

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: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=pdrv&platform=win
All part of the fascinating world of Photoshop CS3.
Regarding the update status, in PS go to Help > About to check the version; it should be 10.0.1.

Dreamweaver CS3 no longer opens files

Greetings,
I am not sure where to post this, so I will post here - already have a question open on the Dreamweaver forums.
I have run into an unusual problem. I can no longer open files either on my local machine or remote server without Dreamweaver CS3 freezing. I am using OS X Leopard - 10.5.2 on an Intel MacBook Pro. A week or so ago I was able to open my .asp files just fine. Now, Dreamweaver simply freezes when I try and open them - either locally or remotely. I tried deleted the preferences file and removing site information from Manage Sites with no luck. I can create and open new files, but cannot open the existing files.
I copied the files in question to a PC and opened them just fine using Dreamweaver 8.02. I just don't know enough about the technical aspects to properly troubleshoot this problem. I already tried reinstalling also.
By the way, I am able to access, open and edit my files from the remote server using my PC and version 8.02.
Any ideas?

Lion Preview and Textedit very slow when opening files from Leopard Server

My small office (about 10 users) recently upgraded our iMac's, Mac Mini's, and Macbook Pro's. We are experiencing a big problem with Preview opening super slow (1-2 minutes) when trying to open JPG's, PDF's, etc from our 10.5.8 Leopard Server. We have deleted numerous plist files related to Preview, completely deleted Preview.app from one iMac and reinstalled it via Pacifist and still no change in performance. One of the new iMac's does open much faster than the others, but we cannot figure out why this one machine works well and the others don't.
All machines are showing the below error (dozens of times) in Console when trying to open files directly from the server...
sandboxd: ([###]) Preview(###) deny system-fsctl
We have searched the internet for a solution but have not come up with anything that works. This problem exists with Textedit as well. We did try opening a file from one Lion machine to the other and it opened very fast. We also can open files very quickly from older 10.4.11 Tiger machines directly from the server. So the best we can determine right now is Lion and Leopard Server are not playing nicely together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have pasted (one of) the console log files below for reference.

"Enable Related Files" isn't the fix for this issue. It's slightly different - I wanted to still load related files, but only the ones local to the file I was editing.
The fix was to use DW's Resolve To IP Address feature. It required adding a registry value - it fixed the issue straight away

Reader 9.1.0 Crashes or slow when opening files over a network

Hello all. I am having a problem with Reader 9.1. I have files that are on another computer that are accessed on other computers on the network. There is a need for up to 21 of these files to be open at one time. As we update the information on them we close them. At random times and intervals, Reader either is very slow to open up the file, around 5min. and other times it just locks up the computer and a restart is required. Is this a limitation of the program to work with files on another system? I do not know much about Reader it's self, but do windows. Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated. I have included the System Paramaters and Installed Plug-ins reports generated in Reader. I have also tried updating Reader with the lates patch, but that just makes it worse.

Sorry, my email got cut off. I'll post it again...

Error in Cs3 extended when opening files.

hello Guys,
when I open a file i get the error
ADOBE Photoshop CS3 Extended:Photoshop.exe - teopassingsfout ( dutch for application error)
The pc is member of a domain. I installed the legal software on users account with administrative privileges.
Start the program without error untill opening a file.
Does anyone has a solution for that please?

Do you get an error when opening files from Bridge into Photoshop?
Does the same happen when you open Raw files with Camera Raw?

Illustrator CS3 crashes in "Open file" dialog when making a copy of a file

Hi!
I have a user, who has quite a weird problem. We use the Design Standard CS3 package, since we can't afford to upgrade all 20 users to CS5 right now.
The problem occurs in Illustrator, when she goes to the "Open File" dialog. She often makes copies of files in there (ctrl+c, ctrl+v), so she has a backup of the file she's currently working on. Why she won't use Explorer to do that, I can't say.. she said something about it being easier this way.
The problem is, that often when she presses ctrl+v Illustrator crashes without warning. Usually when Illustrator crashes there's a warning about not enough memory, an error report or stuff like that, but none of that happens. It's fully patched (13.0.2), and there's no problem with the Print Spooler or the default printer.
I'm unable to replicate it on my computer, unfortunately, so I'm turning to you. Have any of you ever heard about this, seen it somewhere - and do you know what causes it?
Best regards,
Thomas

Sorry, forgot to add that she's running Windows XP SP3, fully updated, 32-bit on a HP Z400 Workstation.

Dreamweaver CS5 Slow to Open File... Enable Related Files

Hello,
I have a page that uses the Fancybox script and it takes Dreamweaver 50 seconds to open this page.
This script requires jQuery, so in the head of my page I have this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
If I comment that line out, the page opens immediately. Also, if I disable "Enable Related Files", the page opens immediately... neither option is a good one of course.
It's my guess that dreamweaver is retrieving and parsing the remote jQuery file which is what is slowing things down. How to I stop dreamweaver from going after remote files???
I was hoping setting "Discover Dynacially-Related Files" to "Disabled" would do the trick, but trying that has led me to another problem that I posted in a different topic which is that Dreamweaver won't save the selection for "Discover Dynamically-Related Files". That option always returns to "Manually".
Any ideas how to stop dreamweaver from retrieving remote files?
Thanks!
Peter

Im on a mac with CS5 and I have started getting an issue with one of my sites where it is slow to open the files. I tried following the steps in the article you attached here but I can not find that preference file at /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences. In fact, I don't have a library under /users/my name.
I can open files fine on a different site, but for some reason just this one is giving me trouble.

8Core MacPro slow to open files into Photoshop

Machine Spec: 8Core - 9gb Ram - 2x750gb - 1900XT. (brand new machine)
Running Photoshop (CS2 9.02)
opening 112.3mb (8-14mb jpegs) and resaving them in a batch 8Core will average 6-7 seconds each.
Machine Spec: 1.8Ghz G5 - 4mb RAM - 2 x 160gb. (over 4 years old)
Running Photoshop (CS2 9.02)
opening 112.3mb (8-14mb jpegs) and resaving them in a batch 8Core will average 7-8 seconds each.
can anyone tell me why 8core is so slow?

The only other factor is the performance of Seagate drives in Mac Pro. Some report slow random small file reads etc. Later units (Mac Pro) may have an improved SATA chipset, but maybe not everyone. Great drive for large file sustained I/O though.
For me, I can't cut my attachment to WD 10K Raptors. Excellent boot drive and where you keep the OS and applications to 75GB or so (and keep data files away from your boot drive!)
Optimizing disk drives for CS2 helps. Dedicated boot drive, separate fast drive for scratch, and another for data and media.
The Mac Pro takes off working with large files where it helps more to have large amount of RAM used for caching.

Excel very slow to open files

same time my computer freezes. I disabled all of the add-ons, however it did not do anything. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue?

This is meant to open a new instance of Excel each time you double click on an Excel file. I had /DDE at the end of the command string and other garbage in

But the above worked for me.

Illustrator CC slow when opening files

I recently upgraded to a full CC subscription. I really love it. But it takes Illustrator CC a long time to open a simple AI file. Even if it's just a simple file on my desktop. I know it takes a while when you open files that contain a lot of embedded/linked images or if the file is on a network drive, but that's not the case here.
Anyone happen to know a solution?
Thank you!
Kind regards,
David

David,
Just to make sure (not knowing whether you had the trial CC before this) are all the faces of the Verdana and Tahoma fonts installed and enabled/activated through the OS (not font mangement) as TTF (not OTF)?

Error 6640 InDesign CS3 - Can't open files.

Hello;
I can't seem to open, save or export any of my documents due to an Error Code: -6640 that pops up when I click on any of the folders in the 'Open File' box. The message reads:
"The operation could not be completed. There was a problem with selected file or folder. It might have been moved, renamed, or deleted."
I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.2. Has anyone encountered this and found a solution to remedy it?
Thank you.
Gregg

Update system to 10.5.4 and InDesign to 5.0.3 to begin with.
