Re: not responding

Thanks Mike,
I updated my video driver, then went into VGA. Updated directX. I looked at
the event log, not sure what I'm looking for, though. My games run fine. I
noticed that Photoshop always hangs when loading "global text resources."
Not sure if that's a clue or not. Thanks again.

Hi Group, I'm having a problem with CS1 crashing as it loads. It gets
about
half loaded and then the pallets, toolbar, etc. turn white and it's "not
responding." I've dumped the prefs, reinstalled the program, used system
restore, run all my spyware programs, scanned for viruses and cant seem
to
find anything that could be causing this. It even does the same thing in
safe mode.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

This is very likely to be a video driver problem.
1- Update the video driver.
2- Remove the video driver and run everything in VGA mode.
3- Replace the video card.

Could also be memory, so run a memory diagnostic.

Assuming you're Windows:
1- Re-install and/or update DirectX
2- Check the system event log
3- Run other programs that exercise video and memory, such as a demo
version of a video game.
