Photoshop CS3 loading times when opening file or creating new

Hi all,
Every time I open any kind of file or when I create a new file it takes Photoshop at least 30 secs to open or create the file. I also have PS installed on another computer (with the same specs) where I don't have this problem.
Does anyone have any idea why it takes PS so long to open/create files? I'm using a laptop with a Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB of DDR2 ram.

If your default printer is a network printer change it to something local.

  • Fix found: Illustrator CS3 (PC) crashes when opening file or starting new file

    Issue:
    -Running Windows XP, tried installing CS3 Web premium on a new machine.
    -All programs worked well except Illustrator; when opening a file or creating a new one, illustrator would crash and give a message of "Microsoft has experienced an error" blah blah "Send error report?"
    -when trying to "open with.." by right clicking on a file, it would crash as well but give the message "The file xxxxxx.pdf is not a valid Win 32 application." Blah blah. Same thing with .ai files, etc.
    Attempts to fix:
    -re-installed CS3
    -updated Illustrator to 13.0.1
    -switched users
    -cleaned up fonts
    Fix that worked:
    -uninstalled pre-loaded version of Acrobat that came with PC.  I had a suspicion that the newer version of Acrobat on the new PC (9.5 or similar) might conflict with Illustrator, as the version of Acrobat to come with CS3 was 8 (I believe). This seemed to fix the problem.

    lol issue still remains... if an admin sees this please remove entire post

  • Photoshop CS4 "quit unexpectedly" when opening documents or creating new ones

    I recently upgraded my computer to an iMac and reinstalled Adobe CS4. All programs have worked perfectly for months, but now Photoshop will not open.  Everytime, whether opening an existing document or creating a new one, it give me the message "Photoshop quit unexpectedly."
    I removed ALL 3rd Party Plug-ins (only had a couple) and reinstalled Photoshop - three times... still no luck. I cannot open the program at all.
    Adobe Tech Support will no longer support CS4...
    HELP! SOMEBODY...

    Then, your preferences were not created, maybe.
    Can you try using the CS Cleaner tool to clean all traces of Adobe CS4 and install CS4 afresh? - http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    This is different from just doing a re-install. Try it out.
    Also, in the error you're getting, is there an error code or a description? IF so, can you post that here?

  • Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

    Help... Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

    Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
    Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
    There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
    Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
    Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
    You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
    This will convert your newer 7100 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS3.
    Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

  • Cannot open files or create new files in Photoshop cc trial

    Hi,
    after getting no support from your phone support line. I am writing here in hopes that this issue can be resolved. I cannot open files or create new files in Photoshop CC trial. Please help

    You can open Photoshop, you cannot create new documents. If you click file>new, the normal new dialog box opens, if you click "ok" it goes away. If you double click a PSD it focuses the Photoshop window. Nothing else happens.
    For me this is a new issue today. My computer is an i7/780, more than capable of Photoshop, and has run it fine up until now. My keyboard started freaking out last night and doing things I didn't want it to. I suspect it changed a setting or broke something.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed and it did not resolve the issue.
    This is obviously a critical issue that needs immediate attention.

    This happens every time i try to browse or open photos.
    If anyone could please help...

    You're crashing in Mac OS code as it tries to draw icons in the dialog.
    It looks very similar to some known bugs in MacOS (GetSrcBits and PlotIconRef), both involving the Carbon APIs - which means that Apple won't be fixing them. (of course, you're on 10.5.8, which Apple definitely won't be fixing)
    We don't know the cause of those crashes, or how to avoid them (and couldn't code around them because they are part of Apple's open/save dialog code).
    Sorry I don't have better news.

  • Windows CS3 Programs Freeze When Opening Files

    Windows CS3, all programs freeze when trying to open files by going through the file menu.
    Able to open files when navigating with windows explorer then right clicking on file and choosing "open with"
    Windows XP Professional SP3, 4 Gb Ram Quad Core Processor.
    Have uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 (Design Premium)
    Have deleted photoshop settings file and tried using photoshop.
    Any time I try to open a new file or existing file by going through the file menu the program freezes and must be terminated using the task manager.

    Erika,
    I wish you had posted that last night. LOL I'm glad it worked for you and I will tell anyone who has this problem to try that before they try my fix. I was starting to have other problems like inDesign corrupting images.
    Here's how I fixed it,
    I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO RISK HAVING TO REFORMAT YOUR PC.
    1. Backup entire pc
    2. Deactivate Creative Suite 3 (or whatever application you are having a problem with)
    3. Uninstall problem application or suite, then uninstall everything by adobe.
    4. Search PC for all folders and files with "adobe", no quotes, in the name.
    5. Delete all folders and files with "adobe", no quotes, in the name.
    6. Restart PC
    7. Run ccleaner and also run the registry fix.
    8. Restart PC.
    9. Backup registry.
    10. Scan registry for "adobe", no quotes. Delete every instance of "adobe", no quotes making sure the reference is truly "adobe" and not something else.
    11. Restart PC.
    12. Install adobe suite or application.
    13. Install any other adobe application you may need.
    Worked for me, but
    I DO NOT   RECOMMEND THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO RISK HAVING TO REFORMAT YOUR PC.

  • Why is Photoshop CC freezing indefinitely when opening files?

    Anytime I open a file in in Photoshop CC it will freeze for indefinite periods of time, even when my laptop is left for hours. A few updates ago, the program worked perfectly smoothly, even with multiple large files opened, but even small ones now make it freeze up. I end up having to force close the program in Task Manager because no other programs will work at the same time when this happens.
    I don't know what I'm doing or what might be wrong with my laptop, but the program used to work like a charm and now it doesn't. I haven't noticed problems with any other programs. However, I am running a trial program right now instead of the full version like I was before.
    Why might this be happening and what can I do about it?

    This is more likely to do with your operating system than Photoshop, even if other applications are able to save OK.   We can see you are using Windows, but what version, and how long has it been installed?  And what are the hardware specs?
    Something that might cause similar problems would be if the operating system was being starved of resources, like if you have Photoshop > Preferences > Performances set with Photoshop using 100% memory.  If you are using Task manager to close Photoshop, have it open to the Performance tab so you can see what is happening when you try to save.  Is memory and/or CPU maxed out, for instance?

  • Photoshop CS4 Extended Crashes When Opening Files

    Whenever I open a file or create a new file (file type doesn't seem to make a difference), Photoshop stops responding for a few seconds, then my monitor goes to standby mode. Turning the monitor off then on again doesn't help. The computer continues to run, but the only way to regain control is a hard reboot. Everything worked just fine until yesterday, when it first started doing this.
    EDIT: I use a dual-monitor setup, but recently my secondary monitor's backlight burned out, so I unchecked the "extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" checkbox in windows display settings. This is when Photoshop started crashing. When I thought about that, I went back and rechecked the box and now everything works fine.
    Adobe Photoshop Version: 11.0.1 (11.0.1x20090218 [20090218.r.523 2009/02/18:02:00:00 cutoff; r branch])

This is when Photoshop started crashing. When I thought about that, I went back and rechecked the box and now everything works fine.
    Still, it's a workaround at best. This should not happen. I'd definitely investigate the graphics card driver settings and PS' OpenGL prefs. There must be a way to get both working without the crashes...

  • My photoshop will not open files or create new files, please help?

    Photoshop CS6 on Windows 7 will not work,
    When machine is first started the program works, for about 10 mins, then
    I can not open files, create new ones. When it does work it can not perform functions like transform etc.
    I tried disabling third party plug ins
    I tried creating a new account on my machine
    Nothing seems to work.
    Can any one shed some light on the problem?
    Cheers!

    There is a script running which Noscript lets me forbid, called akamaihd.net. It runs a script which is the same as in html when you highlight a word then attach a url to it.
    I don't know why I am seeing it but not others. FF and Chrome seem susceptible to it. It's not malware as usually thought of because no virus/malware program finds it here.
    Unfortunately, I have to forbid this script for every site I visit.
    In the other thread where your browser displayed an 'i.trkjmp.com' link which isn't really in the web page, I gave you a Google link for info about the problem. You said that it must be something else. Well, for months now, Chrome and Firefox users have been troubled by extensions which cause the 'i.trkjmp.com' problem. You might want to revisit the link I gave you.

  • Can't open files or create new files in photoshop CS6

    Urgent!
    Since I updated photoshop, when I click New or Open File photoshop behaves like I didn't click anything.
    But otherwise reacts to anything else I click on.
    What is wrong?

    Without system info or other details we can't tell you anything. Most likely this is a permissions issue where PS cannot access the templates for new documents or other configuration data nor may it be able to create its swap files. Look into that and verify your file permission as well as turn off security tools that may block this stuff. also run as admin to test.

  • PSE crashes when opening files and creating a new files

    I've got an HP Envy 3D laptop that came with PSE and Windows 7 pre-installed.  Recently it's been crashing whenever I try to open a file or create a new file.  Unfortunately, I don't have any of the installation discs.  Suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Reboot solves it.  Duh. 

  • Illustrator CS6 Stops working in Windows 7 when Opening file or Starting new project

    Just installed CS6 (legal copy with serial number) on Windows 7 (64bit) computer. Photoshop seems to work fine. Illustrator opens, but when I try to open an existing file or start a new file windows says the program has stopped working. I've already removed every Adobe product I could find on the computer and reinstalled. I also tried deleting the AppsData\Roaming\Adobe\AdobeIllustrator\en_US folder.

    Try checking for permissions on these folders one by one:  C:\Users\Current_User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CSx Settings
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Adobe Illustrator CSx Settings
    Permissions on above folders should be R & W.
    If these settings are fine then check for permissions on these folders at location: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CSx\Presets\
    Adobe Illustrator CSx
    Presets
    Permissions on above folders should atleast be 'Read' or 'Read & Write' both.
    This might help. Since, it works for you using different user account then it is definitely a user permissions issue.

  • Pre Elem 8.0 Crashes Every Time I Open Existing or Create New Project

    I am a novice user of Adobe Premiere Elements 8.01
    HP Pavilion Elite
    Running Windows 7 Home Premium Edition (64 bit), Service Pack 1
    8.0 GB physical memory
    1 TB internal drive
    2 TB external drive
    500 GB external drive
    Video Card ATI Radeon HD 5570
    Until recently I was having no problems using PE 8.0.  Then several issues began.
    PE started crashing anytime I would access the organizer.
    When trying to import any .avi file longer than 40 minutes from my computer's hard drive, PE would hang and not complete the "conforming" operation.  I could no longer use PE until I deleted the media causing the issue and restarted the application.  As long as I worked with shorter duration .avi files, I had no problems.
    This morning I attempted to import 6 .avi files from my computer's hard drive.  The largest file was 789kb.  As the conforming operation was in progress on the first file, the application crashed.  Now if I open any existing project or try to create a new project the application crashes.  In other words I cannot use the application at all. 
    My first inclination is to uninstall/reinstall PE 8.0 but since the application will not stay up, I cannot disable the serial number so that I'll be able to reactivate the product when I reinstall it.  Would a reinstall even be likely to correct the problem?
    How should I proceed?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, you have posted to the Tip & Tricks Forum, and few will see your post here. I will try to have it moved to the main PrE Forum.
    I would start with this ARTICLE, which begins with a checklist on getting PrE setup on one's computer. It then goes into steps to tuneup the computer, and OS, and finishes with many links to help one troubleshoot issues.
    Good luck,
