photoshop cs3 crashes when trying to open any fileThis is a discussion on photoshop cs3 crashes when trying to open any file within the Adobe Photoshop forums in Adobe Tools category; When I purchased CS3 Web Premium it took several months of tooling around to get it to install on Vista HP. Photoshop cs3 worked fine for a few months after installation. It now refuses to open any files - just goes to an eternal spinning icon. When I try to shut it down, it just says not responding. I reinstalled once (takes hours) and it worked for an afternoon. Next morning back to not opening files. Macine is dell xps M1210, 2Gb Ram, Core 2 T5600 processor, NVIDIA Go 7400 64Mb card. Help.... | ||||||||

| Re: photoshop cs3 crashes when trying to open any file it doesn't free up the program so you can do "file> open"? have you reset the preferences per the FAQ? give that a shot. cures a lot of weirdness. |

| Re: photoshop cs3 crashes when trying to open any file Problem (hopefully) solved! file>open has always been available, but when i select a file and open it is when it hangs. Hitting esc then has no effect. Tried the reset preferences - still no change. A friend suggested delete all network printers and voila - it worked! Still keeping fingers and toes crossed every time I use pshop, a little annoying that I have to send files to another machine to print (fortunately I rarely need to print files), and input devices hard to use with everything crossed. Thanks for suggestions Dave. |

| Re: photoshop cs3 crashes when trying to open any file There is a known problem with slowness when a network printer is the default, with the solution being to set a local printer as default... even a "dummy" printer (you'll have to search to find more information) What happens if you set a local printer as default... then add a network printer back in but NOT active? |

| Re: photoshop cs3 crashes when trying to open any file John, you're absolutely correct - can have network printer as long as local printer is default. Thanks heaps! |
