My Photoshop CS3 goes very slow/choppy when I have a selection made.

Hello,
My Photoshop CS3 goes very slow/choppy when I have a selection made, with those little moving lines indicating the selection (the lines that look like walking ants). When I'm adding to the selection, it's fine again, because the "ants" aren't moving, same with when I hit Q to enter Quick Mask Mode--as long as the "ants" aren't moving, my Photoshop isn't slow. Is there any way to fix this? To either speed up Photoshop or to stop the "ants" from moving, and simply allow selections to be indicated by broken lines, but not moving broken lines?
Thanks

    I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

    It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

    dovdov2,
    are you saying that when you connect your MacBook Pro to a monitor, your Internet connection slows down, but when you disconnect the monitor, it speeds up again, and that this is reproducible from one day to another?
    Does this happen both under OS X and under Windows 7, or only under one of them?
    How are you currently connecting your MacBook Pro to your monitor?

  • Very slow response when I click on a link, but almost instant response if I go back and click a second time.

    I often get very slow response when I click on a link, any link. But if I go back and click on the link again, then the page will open almost immediately. I discovered this by accident and noticed that this happens every time. It would be nice if I got fast response on the first click without having to do this silly procedure and it seems to me that there's a simple fix. I would appreciate it if you could help. I'm open to any and all ideas. Thanks again.
    Sincerely,

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • My macbook pro is going very slow what can I do?

    my macbook pro is going very slow what can I do?

    When you next have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above. Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough. It is never necessary or helpful to post more than about 100 lines. "The more, the better" is not the rule here.

  • Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.

    Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.
    First my organize has Exchange on 2 site like
    site A (internet facing) : 2CAS 2 MB all are Services pack1
    site B (DR Site , no user active on this site) : 2CAS 2MB all are Services pack 1
    so today I upgrade Exchange 2013 from SP1 to CU5 start on "site B" and I found this issue and the details is....
    When I open EMS on any CU5 for query something (like get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus) the response return very slow and some query will not return at all (like get-owavirtualdirectory).
    But If I using EMS on SP1. Everything is ok then I try to use EMS on SP1 connect to CU5 and try to query something. the result is
    some query command cannot return for any result that are server on siteB (just some query command)
    Problem
    EMS on CU5 return very slow result.
    EMS on SP1 still ok.
    Does anyone face this problem before for CU5??? Please help me figure this out. Thank you
    reply from Social.technet

    Hi,
    Have you used the above cmdlets to check your Exchange server health?
    "all other command that I ran on EMS didn't logged on event viewer.", my environment is the same with you. I use Exchange 2013, only errors will be displayed in MSExchange Management. Actually, it is not related to slow EMS response.
    Hope it helps.

    wen6275,
    It looks like you're actually using a camera or phone to take a photo of your monitor.
    That's not what is commonly known as a "screen shot". 
    It looks like you're on a Mac.  Hitting Command+Shift+3 places a capture of the contents of your entire monitor on your Desktop; hitting Command+Shift+4 will give you a cross-hairs cursor for you to select just the portion you want to capture.
    I'm mentioning this because I fear I'm not construing your original post correctly when you type "I am working with a large files [sic], currently it has 149 layers, all of which are high resolution photographs", so I'm wondering if there's some similar use of your own idiosyncratic nomenclature in your description of your troublesome file.
    Perhaps I'm just having a major senior moment myself, but I'm utterly unable to imagine such a file.  Would you mind elaborating?

  • Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share

    Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
    We have implemented the following configuration
    Domain level Windows 2000. Two member servers with Windows Server 2008 R2, sharing the same DFS namespace with, at the moment, one folder target called Home.
    Users complaining that the access to different MS Office files is very slow. Even creating a new MS Word document using right click context menu takes up to 4 minutes to open. Saving, for example, one singe Excel sheet takes also few minutes.
    Tested with both, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. Makes no difference. When using Office 2010 you can see the message like contacting:
    \\DomainName\Root\Home\UserName. Other files like TXT, JPG or PDF are not affected.
     What makes the thing really weird is the fact, that the behavior described above can absolutely change after client machine being rebooted, suddenly everything becomes very fast and this condition can revert back again just after the next
    reboot.
    Considerations until now:
    1. This has nothing to do with the file size. Even tiny files are affected.
    2. AD Sites are configured correctly and the client workstations see themselves in the correct sites.
    3. This is not an Office issue. If I map my folder target not as DFS, but directly as shared network drive
    \\ServerName\Root\Home\UserName , everything functions as expected
    What makes me suspicious: when using f.e. TCPView to monitor connections, I can see, that each time I make any operation on an office file, there will be a connection established to one of the domain controllers, sometimes to remote ones,
    located in other countries. But on the other side, even if the connection is established to the nearest DC, operations are still very very slow!
    Just forget to say. All clients are Windows 7
    Thanks to all who respond.

    Dear all,
    sorry for the delayed reply. The problem has been solved now and since September 19<sup>th</sup>. everything is functioning as expected.
    What was done:
    Deleted replication targets excepting the initial ones
    Carefully recreated folder targets
    Deleted and recreated  replication groups
    Disabled SNP features on both namespace servers
    Created EnableTCPA registry entry
    Checked that the following Updates are installed

  • Very slow start when initially entering the service ticket in Web UI (2007)

    We seem to encounter a very slow start when initially entering the service ticket in Web UI (2007). Once in all seems speedy enough. I don't have my access arrange for the Service marketplace (OSS notes) yet so can't check if there is a known solution, which I suspect there is. Has anyone encountered this problem and possibly resolved it?.
    Jason.

    However, I was wondering whether anyone has come across any other small changes that may have a major effect. A quick-win I guess you call it. From bitter experience I know there are rarely quick wins when it comes to optimisation due to the amount of re-testing etc.
    But any further advice would be welcome.

  • InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text

    InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text.
    Running on 2010 Macpro 2.4GHz. 8GB RAM. Any solutions? I've read through many forums on this and tried several fixes.

    Have exact same issue on  my Windows 7 machine. Resetting preferences is a workaround.
    So I start InDesign whilst holding down these keys.
    Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac)
    Whilst inDesign is usable again with this fix- I have to do it every time so it trashes all my preferences so NOT GOOD long term fix. Otherwise InDesign freezes and can only be stopped by forcing a quit.
    I have manually deleted the preference files and I have created a brand new admin account - but still no luck - will be onto support tomorrow

  • Very slow response when selecting in Illustrator CS5 Mac

    I am using Illustrator CS5 (15.0.1) on my brand new MacBook Pro with Core i5 processor and 8Gb Ram.
    On this machine, Illustrator should behave very good, but when I do a selection of anything in an almost empty document, I get a beachball and have to wait a couple of seconds getting Illustrator to be responsive again.
    This is very annoying.
    This happens on anything I select (path, text, rectangle,...).
    I have reinstalled the whole CS5 suite, but still the same problem.
    Anyone got the same problem and know how to fix this.

    Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
    Removing RIghtZoom worked for me!
    I only had it installed because I don't like the way windows in OS X don't fully maximize like windows. I much prefer Illustrator to work than have full screen... plus photoshop tool selection is much faster as well.
