Please Help - Photoshop Freezing Up!


hi, have photoshop cs2 windows installed on windows 7 laptop. open photoshop , getting worse. able work fine few days ago if resize window or start paint ``not responding`` , photoshop freezes.

 

any ideas causing this.thanks.

 

 

 

photoshop memory , image cache

cache levels: 6

available ram: 1707 mb

maximum used photoshop: 55% (938 mb)

 

os: windows 7

 

installed memory (ram): 3.00 gb (2.75 gb useable)

 

windows task manager says:

processes: 73

cpu usage: 63%
physical memory: 48%

 

total: 2814

cached: 1441

available:1440

free: 38

clear out space can on hard drive, , defragment it. photoshop requires lot of contiguous free space on drive scratch files ("ram overflow", put simply). on time, drive fills , gets fragmented.

 

that said, today's standards laptop severely underpowered. files bigger today when cs2 current. if intend keep using it, regular maintenance required.
