Photoshop lagging like crazy?

Okay, so I recently bought Adobe Photoshop CS6 Student/Teacher Edition and installed on both a laptop and desktop. On the laptop it works perfectly, but on the desktop, it's lagging horribly. I have changed the drawing mode to basic, closed out other programs, changed the performance settings (and discovered I can use more memory on the desktop than on the laptop, so why is it so slow?), uninstalled/reinstalled Photoshop, and reformatted the computer. I am using an NVIDIA GeForce 9100 graphics card, which I updated, but PS is still lagging. Also, I did not have this issue with Paint Tool SAI, Paint, Autodesk Sketchbook Express, Adobe Photoshop Elements, or even the trial version of PS. (We did buy a new monitor with a larger screen since I last used the CS6 trial.) Is there any way to fix this issue? I love the new monitor but I hate being unable to draw with it.

Yeah, but then why wouldn't  Photoshop Elements 9 and all the other software slow down? Sometimes CS6 stops lagging for a few minutes but then it always goes back to lagging. Also, on the laptop, I get an error saying the graphics processor won't work (or something like that - I can't remember what exactly.) Even though all the other drawing programs work fine, sometimes Netflix slows down. We tried updating the video processor and reformatting the computer again. I haven't had a chance to try Photoshop, but Netflix is still slow and I think Photoshop may start lagging again.

  • Skype lags like crazy

    So firstly my older version of Skype just refused to connect. I tried everything and one of these was to upgrade to the lastest one which shows Skype 6.22 in my remove programs list.
    Now it connects, but it takes up about 33% of my CPU and just locks up and lags and goes into not responding. It does run okay for a while and then just all of a sudden increases CPU usage something crazy. Restarting it makes it okay for a few minutes again and then same cycle.
    How do I fix this?
    Even when I try to downgrade to a later version it doesn't allow me into group chats even though single chats work. I can't leave the group or remove it to be added again. The other people say I am still showing as in there.
    Is there anything that can fix this? In general Skype lags at times and is slow and seeming as if every now release is making it worse. 
    I am using Windows 8.1 latest update with the lastest update Skype.
    Any suggestions here?

    This is on my work laptop. So I am kind of stuck with this piece of blergh they gave me...
    The weird thing is the pc performs fine and everything else runs fine.
    It is JUST  Skype Desktop version that lags.
    I have now been forced to use this Windows 8 Skype abomination.
    I even tried 4 different versions and did all the temp file removal and Skype setup _old thing.
    When I use old versions I just can't be added to group chats at all and when I use the latest deskptop one it lags like crazy. Sigh... How is a popular program like Skype THIS buggy?

  • Video lags like crazy when mirroring Macbook Pro to Apple TV

    So, the Apple TV is wireless, and youtube works fine, as long as i use it within the Apple Tv. However, when I mirror my Macbook Pro to the Apple TV, and play a youtube video or any other video on my computer, it lags; it lags a LOT!!!
    How do I fix this?
    I've heard about configuring the internet speeds from 5ghz to 2.4ghz. Will this work? and if so, HOW to I configure these settings on my Macbook or Apple TV?
    Please help! I got the Apple TV because we got rid of Foxtel, and I've got some movies on my hard drive, and TV shows, and I'd like to watch them, but the lag makes the movies and tv shows unwatchable!!
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance

    Switching between 2.4 & 5 GHz may bring mixed blessings. 5 GHz will likely avoid most interference but being a higher frequency is more easily blocked by walls and other objects 2.4 GHz is able to pass straight through. It therefore depends on your location which frequency would be best for you.
    Switching would be carried out in your router settings (assuming it supports both frequencies).
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Leopard video lagging like crazy

    So after installing Leopard on my upgraded G4 Cube (1.5GHz, 1.5GB RAM), I'm noticing insane video lag.  Nothing moves smoothly; Dock icons jump around.  I suspect that I need a newer video card that the factory-installed one.  I'm mainly just posting to make sure that's the culprit; I want to make sure before dropping 50 dollars on one.  So, is it the most likely culprit?

    Yes, the OEM Rage 128 Pro is a mangy, lazy dog, totally incapable of dealing with Leopards graphics requirements.
    You need a graphics card that supports OpenGL 2.0 (2.0 is best, OpenGL 1.5 at a minimum) and also supports Core Image.

    The easiest to get into the Cube is a flashed Geforce 6200.
    More of a challenge, but the fastest card a 2x AGP machine can use, is a Radeon 9800 Pro.

  • WRT54G v8 -- Lagging like crazy...

    Well I have my PC wirelessly connected with the Linksys wireless adapter, and my laptop is also connected wirelessly with a Broadcom adapter. But my PC hits 2sec lag spikes every so often whereas the laptop at the same time doesnt have any problems.
    What the hell?
    The lag spikes are while both PC's are playing World of Warcraft.

    I had the same problem and I also play WoW.
    My laptop (has built-in wireless adapter) works fine, no lag, nothing.
    My desktop was hard-wired.  Then I bought a Linksys wireless PCI card.  At first I had problems with the driver being recognized correctly (stating it was a Broadcom instead of Linksys).  Even though it worked, I was getting sloooow speeds.
    I finally got the correct driver from the CD to work and it worked fine, but then I started getting lag spikes.  I had to get the latest driver from the Linksys website and reset the router.  It's finally working correctly (for now), but I think it's also because of Vista.  I've never had this problem while running XP Pro.  But now that both are running Vista, I've had nothing but problems.

  • My curve 8900 lags like crazy

    Hi, I was just wondering how I cud reduce the lag that's on my phone. I just got this phone. I'm not sure if its the mdeia card ... But there isn't much fun it. I do battery pulls, and it still gets laggy !!

    Clear your cache. I think you open your web browser, click the menu button to the left of the ball, click options, click cache operations, and clear everything. I use my phone a lot so I have to do this every 3 days. Do it at least once per week.

  • Firefox Lags Like Hell with Flash

    Ok, here's the deal.
    After long use Firefox starts to lag like crazy with Flash. And... It doesn't seem to be a problem with Flash. It's more likely that the browser itself what is causing the issue.
    After I use Firefox for some time Flash starts lagging badly. BUT! This happens only if I have my Firefox window active. If I open the Task Manager on top of Firefox window, Flash stops lagging as if Harry Porter himself cast a spell with his magic stick making everything work like a charm.
    I made a small video showcasing the bug: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l2c5pbn1xwy58dc/12-11-2012%2019-07-15.avi
    - The bug still appears even in Safe Mode (all addons disabled).
    - With hardware acceleration disabled in Flash bug still remains.
    - With Chrome and other browsers everything works fine.
    - The bug will go away after restart - and then will start to appear after Firefox is in use for some time.
    - Normally it re-appears after I close my laptop's lid forcing it to go to sleep mode. After it wakes up - the bug is there.
    - There was no such a bug in the past - it started to appear as new Firefox versions were released - don't know the exact version but I assume it all started from version 14 or 15.
    Any thoughts?

    Did you try to disable protected mode in the Flash plugin?
    Also make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    *downgrade the Flash player to version 10.3 or 11.2

  • Adobe Revel fills my disk like crazy

    Adobe revel fills my disk quickly. I'm on a Macbook Air (128GB) with Mountain Lion. Although I opted in the preferences of the Adobe Revel software to not save originals on this computer, I've found that Revel still downloads the original files and puts them in a container to be found in het hidden 'Library' folder in the user folder. For better understanding, I'm not talking about the 'Adobe Revel' folder (container) that is created in the 'Pictures' folder in Finder. This is a very unfortunate situation since it will render my computer next to useless in a very short amount of time. I keep my originals on external drives off site and have no need for another copy on a computer with already very limited disk space.
    This is even more frustrating because the software lets you specifically opt out of saving the originals on the machine, and still downloads these files. It defies as well the purpose of storing images online.
    It took me some time to find out why I had 28GB of pictures on the computer, while the Pictures folder contains merely 4GB of image files total.
    Is there a way to remedy this? This is a serious issue, as far as I'm concerned.

    Pattie,
    This answers my question.
    Still it is somewhat confusing, since I did indeed disable the option to keep originals on the computer. More so because Revel stores these cached files in a container in a hidden Library folder, and there doesn't seem to be a limit to the cache size. If you have large picture libraries and you use Revel often, cache size expands rapidly.
    It took quite some time to find out where the disk space was going. Once found, the question remains what to do, since it's normal practice to leave libraries alone, I guess that's why they're hidden.
    A user adjustable cache size limit or an option to clear cache would be neat.
    Regards,
    Geert

    Geert-
    Sorry you are having issues with this. Here is some information that may clear things up and help you purge the extra stuff from your Mac.
    With Revel, your photos are stored in two places: Adobe’s secure cloud and the hard drive on your Mac if you have Revel installed there and have “Keep All Originals” set to “On.”  This is the default setting.  If you upload pictures and choose to "Keep all Orginals",  Revel copies the image and stores a cache of the image in the Adobe Revel library.rvl package. You can click on the package and select "show package contents" to view the images that were stored in that package. You can disable this setting if you know you have your originals stored safely elsewhere, or if you don’t have enough disk space on your Mac to accommodate all photos.
    TO DISABLE KEEP ORIGINALS AND DELETE THE DATA FROM THE MAC:
    1. Before doing anything, BE SURE YOU HAVE ALL OF YOUR ORIGINALS BACKED UP SOMEWHERE.
    2. BE SURE ALL UPLOADING IS COMPLETED. Check your status to be sure nothing is still uploading, that no new uploads or changes are pending, otherwise they could be lost. Let uploads complete.
    3. Disable Keep Originals in Revel app settings (since you don't want a duplicate copy)
    4. Close Revel.
    5. Delete Adobe Revel Library.
    ... /Users/your user folder name here/Library/Containers/com.adobe.Carousel.mac/
    When you relaunch Revel, you will have to wait while the catalogs sync up (which might take a bit depending on size of library) but no originals will be downloaded.
    6. Delete Pictures/Adobe Revel/Adobe Revel Library file
    7. Launch Revel. Sign in. Depending on size of library, it will take a few minutes to repopulate, download any thumbnails/previews/database info.
    Please note, we cache items for preferences and performance and we cache thumbnails and previews to prevent needing to download over and over again. If you import on the Mac we'll cache some originals for performance.

  • Anyone having issues with iPad2 screen opening and closing like crazy on it's own?

    My iPad2 screen just started opening &amp; closing on it's own like crazy. Like it has a mind of it's own. Driving me insane. Just typing this out will take me over two mins. Anyone know how to fix this??

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off".

  • This isn't a question but rather a warning to anyone using the new OS for iphone 4.  The imessage uses up your data plan like crazy.  I called Apple about it and they said no it's not doing it.  I called AT

    The new OS is burning through my data plan like crazy and here's why.  Imessage uses your data plan and not your texting plan.  So every time you send a text message to someone with an iphone it uses imessage and it uses your data, not your text plan.  I couldn't figure out why I was burning through so much of my data plan so quickly.  I called Apple and they said, no it's not the data plan doing it.  I called AT&T and they said, yes, the imessage uses data instead of your texting plan if you are texting to another iphone.  Also, the new OS runs your apps all the time, even when you aren't using them.  So if you are not near wifi your apps are running and burning your data plan.  The AT&T guy took me through the steps to turn off the apps.  You can still use them but they won't be running constantly.  Seriously Apple, you should let people know this.  It does say it in the fine print on the website "data rates may apply" under imessage but most people will never read this.  So my data plan started on October 10th and it's already at 175 megabytes and I only have a 200 megabyte plan.  I've never used more than 50 to 75 megabytes in a month.  Apple get it together and be honest with people and tell them.  Quit denying the problem.  Most people have probably not even discovered this yet.  Wait till you get your bill.

    It's not really common knowledge because I've talked to several people today and none of them knew about it.  Also, when I called Apple they said no the new OS is not using data.  Totally wrong answer.  You'd think they'd know about it and at least tell people.  The people who are going to be hit by this are people like me with the 200mb plans.  I just think it's best to spread the word so people can know what's happening.  I still don't know how I went through so much data in such a short period of time.  It's not happening anymore though, not since I fixed everything up last night. 
    If you are using a free wifi connection, there are no data charges with iMessage.  But in an area where you did NOT have a wifi connection, of course it used 3G and of course you got charged for it (or had it count against your plan limits).
    I'll ask again - without a wifi connection, just what did you think was happening?  How did you think your iPhone was able to magically send a message WITHOUT using any data connection?  A little bit of rational thought would have made you realize that there was no way, over a 3G connection (which is a service provided by your cellular service provider, NOT Apple), that you can send or receive ANYTHING without your service provider's plan picking it up.
    Nothing abut iMessage has ever hinted that it can, in any way, bypass your service provider when NOT using a wifi connection.

  • Flash Player is causing my Web Pages to flash like crazy Need help!

    I need help, I'm running a computer with Windows 98 4.10.1998
    and Running Internet Explorer ver. 6.0.2800.1106IC
    I had some problems I have fix eveything but when I got to a

    to install and run flash player if I do Install and run, all
    my web pages flash

    flash like a lighting
    strorm. How do I fix this? I never had this before, I ran the
    flash player debug file
    that made no change. Help!

    Already checked the Event Viewer. The only thing I could find is this critical level event
    The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
    This only happens when I am running a flash video in IE10. In Chrome everything works fine. I downgraded flash player to 11.4 but with no luck.
    From the event viewer, the reboots started from sometime in september.(this is my parents' pc)
    I think I found the problem. I changed my video card, a 9600GT, a few months ago with a GT630. I switched back to the 9600GT, and it looks like the issue is not happening any more. But it's still verry ackward for the issue to happen only on IE10.
    I'm still testing to be sure that the video card is the problem.
