PS CS3 - any action make 100% CPU and very choppy

Hello!
I have PS CS3 on Win XP SP2, 2 GB RAM, nVidia geForce 8500GT with updated drivers. Until 2 days ago everything was perfect (smooth movement and action in PS CS3). Suddenly every move I make (draw a simple line, move or resize window, painting with paint brush etc) become very choppy and fragmentated and CPU raise instant to 100%. I uninstalled PS CS3 and reinstalled again, but with no luck. Any ideea about what is happening here? Thank you!
PS: Other programs like Fireworks, Flash, Illustrator etc work very nice and smooth with maximum 20-30% CPU usage.

Hi, Cris!
What changed on your system (outside of Photoshop) around that time? Updates? New software? Changed settings?
Only regular stuff: most of them only updates for browsers, antivirus, firewall etc ... nothing related to photoshop
Did you change anything inside Photoshop (showing different palettes, change in prefs)? Especially check Photoshop's prefs for how much memory you allocated to it.
I kept my performance prefs exactly like 2-3 days ago when photoshop worked good and smooth.
What you're describing could be a video driver problem, or just VM thrashing (by the OS or Photoshop's scratch disk). But it's also possible it's due to some other factor inside Photoshop that didn't get included in your description.
I have the last version of nVidia driver (installed 2 months ago) for video card.

Webcam Instant Distorted Images

I have recently successfully installed Webcam Instant, but the image I see on my own screen during Skype calls is distorted to show 4 of me and 2 of who I am speaking to. The image on my screen is also very poor quality and of a pale green colour. Apparently the image received from my camera at the other end is AOK. Any ideas on how to solve the problem ?

Webcam Instant & Speedtouch Modems

Does anybody have an idea why, when I activate my Webcam Instant, it causes my SpeedTouch 330 modem to stop responding? Has anybody else got this problem? I am on a XP system, and Wanadoo Broadband, and have no problems with the modem until I start my webcam rolling...

That's very weird.... Is the modem using USB or what? If both the webcam and modem are using USB then try using other USB port for the modem and webcam...

WebCam Instant - Horrible framerate

Hi
I just had a look around the forums and noticed there are quite a few threads regarding problems with the WebCam Instant model. Anyhow, my problem isn't as severe as most of those, for the moment anyway..
I'm experiencing some really horrible framerates, ranging from 9 to 20, primarily in the lower region. This goes for both the WebCam center and MSN Messenger. On top of that, the capturing seems to freeze every 5 or 6 seconds, which lasts about half a second. As you can imagine, this is getting quite frustrating. I just reformatted my harddri've and reinstalled windows, hoping that would fix my problem, but alas - it did not.
I was hoping this new camera would provide a significant upgrade to my webcam photographing quality and video shooting, but my old cam which I bought for barely a dime and a nickle honestly performed way better than my WebCam Instant is currently doing.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I bougth the creative webcam Instant with a small microphone package yesterday. The microphone is very great. Its sound is very clear and loud, but my friend told that she heard very loud noise. It causes from the microphone because when I removed it, the noise was disappear. Moreover, like erique87's case, the framerate of the webcam is horrible. I used it with yahoo messenger. It is not freeze, but it is not smooth. Its framerate from yahoo is about 0.7 fps.
My friend's webcam is logitech. It shows higher framerate about 1.8 fps.
I would like to know that how I can adjust the framerate. I don't need the higher quality. I prefer smooth picture. I change the quality in the yahoo messenger option to the fast speed, but nothing changed. Please let me know. [email protected]
Thanks.

Timeline playing back very choppy over multiformat video.

Hi Guys,
I am editing some behind the scenes footage for a movie our studio is making. A lot of the media has come from different sources. Some red, some mpeg4 etc. The Mac i am using is a Quad Core Mac Pro... technically it should be powerful enough to play over all these fine. But even when everything is rendered, it is very choppy. So much so, that to check my audio is in synch for some of the action shots, i have to export it as a Quicktime and play it back and check it that way.
Now i have tried RT in unlimited and safe... but it still happens. Does anyone have any possible solutions at all?
Any help would be much appreciated,
thanks in advance.

Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, what camera or deck, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media, what settings you're using in Final Cut, and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime you are using.

IPhone 5 call quality issue. (Either call ends or very choppy on the other end)

At random times my calls don't go through. The phone says call ended and doesn't ring. The reception is either full or close to full. This has occurred numerous times while calling different numbers. If I do manage to get the phone to ring, the person on the other end wouldn't be able to hear me as it would be very choppy. I have tried to reset the network settings with no luck. It is a random thing that happens at random times. It is not the carrier issue as all other functions of the phone work. Also this phone is an unlocked unit from Apple and is not in the U.S.

I just replied to a similar post and I'll copy and paste my response here. I was having the same exact issue. Here is my possible fix.
Yesterday I updated the OS to the latest release. Then right after that I called AT&T and they reset my sim card. Or something like that. They did some sort of reset.
I then got in my car and drove around to test the phone. Because that is when the problem is worse. FINALLY they claim to be able to hear me clearly!!!!
I think it was the combination of both the OS update and the sim card reset that fixed it. Hopefully..... It has only been one day but so far so good. I'll update this post if things change.
Try this and let us know if this works for you.

My iTunes is very choppy when watching videos

My iTunes is very choppy when watching videos. I just dowloaded a couple shows and it stops then goes really fast when it play's. Anyway to fix this?

Yes! I have the exact same issue. So I tried some things.
I am on Uvese (via wifi) and was trying to update the apps on my PC via itunes. Taking FOREVER. So i tired it directly from my iPhone 6 via wifi - same issue. Then I turned off wifi on the iPhone and updated over (ATT) LTE. That worked great. I am thinking it is a Uverse/ATT issue at this point.

I have Adobe Elements 9 and I used to be able to export HD 1080p videos with no issue. But recently, when I export using H.264 MPEG or MPEG 2, which I normally used, the high resolution videos come out very choppy. How can i fix this?

mr
Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.
More later.
