Photoshop CS3 freezes when opening/creating new files

My system: Mac OSX 10.5.8, 2.1 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Whenever I try to open the files or create new files, the program crashes / freezes. I have Google'd and found similar problems, yet I have not yet capitalized on the realization of a complete restoration. I recently installed a new driver of LEXMARK printer and I found that this could be my problem. I started to remove printers drivers and preferences of adobe to solve half of my problem. CS3 is now blocking half the time when you create a new document and crashes everytime I try to open a document. Sometimes when I'm really able to start a new document, I can open documents, which is rather strange. I must be missing something to delete of what is the driver installed, or there must be something else I'm missing.

I uninstalled and reinstalled, but that did nothing. I created a new user account and tried to work the program in there, but it still crashes. Illustrator and InDesign work very well. I need immediate help to continue the work for the clients, please help as soon as possible. Thank you.

Since us don't know not what the Lexmark driver leads to freezing, we do not know if reinstalling it reintroduced the problem or not.

You should probably talk to Lexmark on the printer driver and the problems it poses.

  • Photoshop will not open/create new files, can't resize images etc.

    Hi all.

    So I'll start with the basics; I use Photoshop 7 (and Yes, I use it for a reason, I'm not interested in the migration to this jumble of creative cloud new $1000), we Australians get us torn a new and I am happy with the $50 I paid for my copy years ago. (Please don't tell me the solution to my problem is simply to level and go bankrupt. Yet once again, I am using 7 for very long without problem).

    I use the 7 for almost a decade without problem. I stick with it because so far, he has done everything that I need, has been reliable up to this point, and my plugins work correctly with the newer versions. I also use a system more older-spec (Windows XP, 3 GB of ram etc.) I do a lot of work with former game engines, Source engine etc.

    The question that I have doesn't seem to be Photoshop-7 States, however, there are many threads on this point that remained and arrive in CS3 etc. and modern copies as well. I uninstalled and reinstalled nothing doesn't. Basically, I can't open the reliable files with it.

    If I click with the right button on any image file in Solution Explorer and click 'Open with-> Photoshop', photoshop will launch, however it does not open the file. I double checked to make sure that the file wasn't just opening offscreen, however it is certainly not opening at all (like the "close" option does not become available).

    If I launch photoshop manually, click on file-> open-> it will open this file, BUT it will not more files open after that.

    She also is very very picky with simple controls, such as if I hit CTRL + T to go in processing mode and then try to resize an image, I have to click and drag the corners at least 5 - 6 times before it will recognize that I do, and it will also ignore the resizing I perform and break back to normal. Sometimes, I have to click more than once things to get them to sign up. This does not occur with any other software etc, so I excluded that there is a problem with my mouse.

    This happens only one day, and I can't think of any particular system changes it will likely cause (IE no abnormal plugins installed recently, no major changes in hardware or software). Unless my keyboard has a stuck key or something strange, I am absolutely at a loss

    Is there someone who can help me or has heard of this problem?

    I'm a fool.

    I suppose the work disk was full or something else. A simple reboot seems to have solved the problem. (I often my system running up to 64 48 hours at a time without that it recharges) as my working days are about 36 hours straight, so it could just be a constraint of XP.

    I hope that this solves the problem for someone else who she sees. Restart your pc from time to time, give him a table open memory to work with.

  • Photoshop CS3 gel when I create a new adjustment layer

    I work on a Macbook Pro. Have a lot of memory/RAM/scratch disk space.

    When I try to edit an image (that I exported from Lightroom) PS crashes as soon as a new adjustment layer is created. When there is a second layer, I am unable to return to the original layer. Tool changes automatically the default 'move' tool 'pipette' and the PS freezes.

    Lived all the archives and can't find any help. Also just reinstalled the PS from the disk and still have the same question.

    Thanks for the advice/help.

    Press the ESC key. I bet he'll release.

    You opened the dialog box setting somewhere offscreen.  Usually this is due to have a second monitor connected and the operating system is always display (often on laptops).

  • Photoshop will unresponisve after opening/creating a file

    The appliance plug:

    Model: Acer 571PG V5 collapsing

    OS: Windows 8.1 Professional 64 Bit | "I wish I had a Mac" special edition

    Processor: Intel Quad Core i7

    Memory: 8 GB

    Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 4000 ("ew")

    The big idea:

    I recently got Adobe CC as a gift. At the opening of my first place of Photoshop, [the title of this post]. I can open an instance of Photoshop, create or open a file, and Photoshop stops responding after a 10 to 30 second interval after editing the file, or let it sit open. I have tried many approaches to solve this problem:

    • Update my graphic drivers
    • Reboot (many times)
    • Changing the options of the printer (sounds ridiculous, but I had read that this was a resolution for some)
    • Disable the "autosave" of Photoshop (also)
    • Re-installing Photoshop
    • Which allows Photoshop more CPU usage and memory
    • Disable WiFi before you start (CC issue maybe?)


    The program does not offer any newspaper crash after going unresponsive. Neither windows fade the window and offer him answer of "this program has stopped working".

    I have also provided a wonderful video to illustrate this problem that you can view here.

    This can be reproduced, believe me, an infinite number of times.

    If you guys can help, it would be great. Also, I would like to know if I posted this in the wrong forum section. I found that I have a great talent to do that!

    See you soon,.

  • Photoshop cs6 shifts when creating new file

    When creating a file the program is lagging about 4 to 7 seconds, when I save the file and re - open, there is no lag, at the opening of the older files is no this lag as well.

  • Why not Photoshop create new files or open after a while 'old'?

    So I've had this problem for about a month now and is really infuriating.

    I installed the trial version CS6 Master suit, and after a little more, I would like to notice that after some time of using photoshop, would not:

    • Open old files
    • Create new
    • Would slow down and begin to break the feet if I had a file open when the 'event '.
    • It would be impossible to record.

    After a google search, I found a lot of suggestions, such as the default printer is a network printer that was not connected or that the suggestions were corrupt. None of them worked. I did a clean reinstall of windows, but this did not fix my problem. Now, I think I remember that there was a problem I had as many years ago, and it's a windows update that screwed up Photoshop, one of the K9XXXXXX these updates. Other than that, I have no leads other than the fact that it is a hardware based or somehow the problem persists after reinstallation of windows.

    I tried to support, but of course they require that you bought to get any help. So all I have is this forum. Help, please.

    Specifications of the PC:

    64-bit Windows

    Guys, this has been resolved in another thread:

    Open photoshop when it is buggy and press Ctrl + Break (Break) (it's usually next to the print screen).

    When I click on 'File' and then 'new' it keeps open a new file as a layer and not a background. The RGB mode is selected.

    With the new files to open as a layer and not a background, I'm not able to create multiple layers and it won't let me convert the background layer.

    How what happened. I've used PS yesterday and had no problem. Today, my computer did updates mandatory day and now this.

    Yes. You use the option of Pixel of the Ellipse tool. He's so setting pixels as it is supposed to do without creating a layer.

    Choose the option to the form:

    Also the menu layer > new layer creates layers and paper rolled up at the bottom of your layers palette also creates a new layer. I hope these work.

    I'm fairly new to Photoshop. I have it on my Mac. I tried to open a file that I worked on earlier and Photoshop opened and I saw all my layers on the right, but the window with the actual image did not come to the top.
