Photoshop CS4 - Super Slow Redraw
Hello all,
I have searched this forum and have adjusted my OS and software settings per you advice:
Virtual memory: check (per Adobe's instructions)
Scratch Disk: check
'Enable Open GL Drawing': check (off)
System Info:
Dell Optiplex GX 620
Intel 3.00GHz
4.00GB RAM (3.5GB usable)
32-bit OS (Windows 7 Ultimate)
Photoshop settings:
Photoshop is using 75% of my system's resources
'Available RAM' = 1603MB
'History States' = 30
'Cache Levels' = 4
Compatibility = Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
Photoshop is running very slowly, even with tiny files (50k). I haven't had the need to run large CMYK files, but I am guessing those will drastically slow the already molasses-like redraw.
I did not have any issues when installing Windows 7 or CS4. Neither crash or are glitchy in any other way... I spend 90% of my work day in PS, so it is mandatory, for my personal sanity and productivity that PS run as fast or faster than when installed on XP.
I am about an hour away from reinstalling XP. Please advise.
TIA,
Mark
