Photoshop 7 running slow on Windows 8

I have Photoshop version 7 running on a new Windows 8 System. I previously ran on a Windows 7 system. I don't know all the details of the system, but I know there are a lot of RAM (16 GB), lots of space, lots of everything and it is compatible, however, he drags a lot, which he has never done. I have reset so the "scratch disks" is not the same as the operating system (as Adobe says usually) and that did nothing. It also has nothing to do with the opening or working on files - there is a delay in the opening of items on the toolbar and open dialog boxes.

I have 2 drives hard - a 'fast' but smaller - 104 gb and a regular at 931 GB. I tried to install it in two locations separately, and it has the same.

Any ideas / suggestions would be greatly appreciated! (I also know, Photoshop 7 is an older version and if it were up to me, I would simply like to upgrade, but I don't get to make these decisions...)

Compatibility mode is a feature of Windows, and you should probably use. Photoshop 7 was not designed to run on modern operating systems. There are more than just changes during the upgrade of your operating system. New features are added, some 'old' and the code that they depend on, are removed. Compatibility mode allows to compensate for these differences by changing the environment around an application to make it more user-friendly. This could make all the difference in the world. Or not, there might be something else going on...

Just right click on the exe of Photoshop, go to properties and select the Compatibility tab. It should be pretty self-explanatory from there.

  • elitepad 900 running slow on windows 10

    I have improved my 900 to 10 pro elitepad 32 bit of windows.

    the upgrade itself that has is passed smoothly, all the data/program were kept, quite impressive.

    Nevertheless executing windows 10 makes the Tablet works very slowly even after the end of the updates/patches and several restart.

    -l' overall interface is slow with delays between action and results

    -the menus are slow, the Tablet seems to use the drive too

    -watching a regular movie mkv/avi is very slow/ectic/cut - weather I use the new app using VLC Office or modern tv.

    -l' screen is not really turn off Hibernate, the retro-lightnigh/backlight remains lit unless a stop

    I did a roll back to windows 8.1 (super smooth, yet once very impressive) and performance is back where it was. Movies are smooth, the interface is fast...

    frustrating - have you noticed the same thing?

    I wanted to share the following with you - I had the problem of the screen backlight until I finished the following 10 Windows:

    Visit the site of HP support and access to the Elitepad 900 downloads for Windows 8.1.  Download the update of the driver/Firmware/BIOS ElitePad 900 (SP71504).  Run this update - the element that will be your problem is the Intel GMA driver included in this update.

    The question is 'Microsoft's basic graphics card"which is installed by default.  This graphics card also seems to have caused problems in other devices as well - if it is not necessarily a problem of HP.  I guess that there will be a stand-alone Setup program Windows 10 Intel GMA - but I couldn't find one for install - of course that does not mean it is not there.  The package of 8.1 installation above took place without problems on my device and the display number no longer existed.

    Just a note, Microsoft is having similar problems with Surface features.  They have users update the display driver to resolve the problem.

  • Some games run very slow on Windows 8, as...

    Some games run very slow on Windows 8 as (chicken Invasion "v1, v2, v3" in red alert 2, Age of Empire 2)
    but on Windows 7 on the same Machine perform perfectly, I tried to install DirectX,.
    and tried to install the latest Version of the Driver VGA for Windows8 and tried to change VGA (Nvidia, AMD, Intel)
    but the games (not all games just a few) still running slow...? !!!
    Help, please...

    Wrong, wrong, wrong.

    This is entirely based on compatibility to a level beyond what is offered in the standard "Windows compatibility" section.  In addition to this, everything you said had absolutely nothing to do with the question.  This has nothing to do with starting or whatever it is in the same direction.

    What is happening is that something is interfering with the normal functioning of the game because of changes in the kernel of the operating system because it has been updated / rewritten since the inception of Windows XP.

    @SOVIETTION
    The most likely solution for you has nothing to do with the videobuffer here is how fix you it:

    Find the Red Alert installation directory and find the file * md.ini.
    In revenge for Red Alert 2/Yuri, it will be 'RA2MD. INI"(feel free to make a backup of the file before proceeding)
    Open it with your favorite text editor (Notepad for most people)
    Scroll down until you find the section [Video]
    Just below you will add this line-
    VideoBackBuffer = no
    Save the file in the same place and load the game.

    Enjoy!

    The VideoBackBuffer = none works perfectly, but in my case I also had to set the compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2.

    Bravo for you!

  • I have Photoshop 7, running on Windows XP SP3 and I want to install it into my new PC (and it will remove the old) that runs 10 64-bit Windows.

  • Several processes that are running on the standard user account because it runs slow and internet does not "."

    Create a user profile for children on PC 32-bit W7 with MS Family Safety.

    Recently they have complained he "runs slow and internet does not work.

    After playing for a little, I realized a ton of processes were running in the background. I couldn't run msconfig to their profile (not administrator) and after some research, I even if the profile has been corrupted.

    I created a new profile, but now the same thing is happening a few days later.

    See below; multiple copies of the same process are running. This happens within 2 m after the log-in and I only started one program.

    I started in safe mode with network and ran Windows defender, Spybot S & D and my virus scanner (all full scans) and turned up nothing malicious.  A few cookies tracking in the web cache, but nothing out of the ordinary.  I searched for the files wlaacmgr.exe and dplaysvr.exe (b/c they do not appear running in my admin profile) but they were found only in windows OS directories.  I understand that they are files of W7 but some maleware recreates.

    Many of them are the same files taking up process on the old profile that I deleted.

    Any help or suggestion as to why I have multiple copies of large processes running on the machine?  As I wrote it, I sign in, seems to be fine for one but 2 minutes a lot of process appear repeatedly and slows down the computer to a crawl.

    These two files listed are not at all on my admin profile and the machine works fine in my admin profile.  Even with open Photoshop, the CPU is only about 50% under my profile.

    Try to check/change the entries in startup with Autoruns from Sysinternals, which should work on the limited account to see its startup items.

  • Photoshop is so slow, that it is completely unusable.

    I recently bought the CC and was shocked to discover that Photoshop CC 2015 is so slow, it's almost not even worth opening. I'm on a mac running El Capitan and I'll immediately go the bat and say my Macbook Pro is like 6 years old and has only 4 GB of ram. But for reference, my computer works CS6 on Windows XP and it is lightyears ahead of CC. At work, I can take a picture adjust this tweak that adds a filter text top jet and be done lickity Split. On my Mac CC 2015 takes about a minute to do anything. If I create a blank white canvas and do five strokes with a brush that the first will show the half pulled, 5 minutes later, another might appear, and that's it. I read tons of reports on similar issues in dozens of users. I tried things like increasing memory intense Photoshop use, decreased amounts of the history States, I even installed CC 2014 and it worked for a day, but that is now all too slow.

    Why I pay huge, monthly fees for an advanced application that runs slower than the version 4 years on an operating system dead, old 15 year?

    XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, security issues will not be fixed. If you continue to use your DIF, s request. Most windows users use Windows 7 is a lot better than XP OS.   I see many Mac El Capitan related problems in this forum, have you searched?

  • Flight Simulator 3 and other games running slowly in Windows 7.

    Original title: Sims 3 (and other games works incorrectly) suddenly running slow.

    I'll try to make this as brief as possible while providing for.

    When I got to Windows 7, the sims 3 worked perfectly. all the graphics on the top and so on. I can't quite identify when exactly it started running slowly and I mean slow! The game, itself, does not take long to load - it never did and it's practically the only thing that has not changed. But when I go in the game (from simply create a SIM to play), that he is lagging badly. To say things to the point, the whole game is rather fluid animation as a slide show of photos.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled, but the problem persists. I've also updated my nVidia graphics card it is newer, but it did not much difference in any of the games. Sidenote: I installed the sims 2 and well there a little laggy every now and then (he's since widows xp; sure enough it's normal) it preforms perfectly. I just can't understand why the sims 3 has suddenly decided to run horribly.

    In other games, such as smaller little such as Turbo Subs, are also slow, but not to the point where I can't even play. In fact, if I play long enough gal disappears and it works normally. But I think that it may just be an incompatibility problem because part of the mine, Burger Shop 2, works very well, even better than when I got Vista. Looking for confirmation here.

    Is it possible to fix it as it used to be, or at the very least, simply reduce the amount of lag?
