How can I improve performance Adobe CS5?

I got a trial of Adobe Creative Suite 5 on a PC at work and so far it's ok, but it's really trolling. The PC currently has an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66 GHz, 4 GB of Ram DDR2, 160 GB HDD, and an integrated Intel graphics chip.

Add a dedicated graphics card will improve performance of CS5? I read on the forums that Mac users use a 2nd hard drive as a "scratch disk" for the likes of photoshop which improves performance but do not know how to implement that.

Any ideas would be great.

The integrated graphics may well take all system RAM. In addition, you enter your operating system but I recommend Win 7 64 bit with a boat load of RAM.

Fast hard drives with a drive of dedicated work will help, too.

    According to many things (specifications, you have now installed vs the programs he came originally with programs, etc.)-it may or may not work better that ever he does now.  However, in terms of nothing other than the software and others on the subject - there are some things you can do to optimize performance.

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    Do some cleaning and dusting off this hard drive:

    You can free up disk space (will also help get rid of the things that you do not use) through the following steps:

    Windows XP should take between 4.5 and 9 GB * with * an Office suite, editing Photo software, alternative Internet browser (s), various Internet plugins and a host of other things installed.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

    You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

    Now that your system is generally free of malicious software (assuming you have an AntiVirus application), you've cleaned the "additional applications" that could be running and picking up your precious memory and the processor, you have authorized out of valuable and makes disk space as there are no problems with the drive itself and your Windows Update components are updates and should work fine - it is only only one other thing you pouvez wish to make:

    Get and install the hardware device last drivers for your system hardware/system manufacturers support and/or download web site.

    When I ask several condition they have queries slow about 200 to 500 seconds.

    There are 4 ways.

    Faster hardware, faster disks, more big pipes, I/O etc. In other words, reduce costs (depending on the time) to the IO has 100 million lines.

    Parallel processing. Instead of a single process serialized bed a 100 million lines, using a 100 in parallel process, each reading of 1 million rows.

    Planning of roads I/O better and faster the query whether does not read a 100 million lines, or to read a 100 million lines (of say only 1 KB each), reading a 100 million entries index (for example, 50 bytes).

    Rethink the requirement of the business that requires reading/treatment one lines 100 million. Or rethink the model of data requiring a 100 million lines to deal with this requirement of the company.

    There is no option 5, which uses a magic wand that can be rough to make this process quick. Analyze the performance of the query (based on the links already provided in responses above) is the first step in the process of identifying the real problem and how to solve it.

    If you purchased CS5, you should have the case (with serial number) and the original dvd or if you have purchased online, this serial number will be in your adobeID profile.

    If you have downloaded CS5 a few years back, you reinforced the installer?

    The serial number should work - contact adobe if you activation problems - it could be you have CS5 installed on more than two computers, the license only allows two facilities - if you are trying to install on a third computer, you will see a prompt to disable the software on other computers.

    Updates are not related to series numbers, so you must have done something compared to try to use an upgrade rather than an update.  Adobe not revise older versions of their software to adapt to the latest hardware/devices.  They create/sell new versions of their software for it.  If you subscribe to the Cloud at some point you shouldn't have a problem with the software becomes obsolete.
