Photoshop :: CS4 Stops Responding For Long Periods...
Nov 16, 2008
First of all, let me say that I am very enthused with the changes in CS4. I feel that this is the best update to PhotoShop that I have seen, and I am a user since version 3.0.
The problem that I see, ocassionally, is that PhotoShop becomes non-responsive for a long period ie: 1-2 minutes. I have experienced this on both my desktop (64 bit Vista Ultimate and 64 bit CS4) and my laptop (32 bit Vista Ultimate). During this time the disk drive is continuously active as though it is swapping the file to disk. The file size, however, is not large enough to cause this and the utilization factor is shown as well below 100%. After a period of time the disk drive stops and CS4 becomes responsive again.
The system is an AMD dual core processor with 6GB RAM on the desktop and 2GB RAM on the laptop. Both systems use SATA hard drives. The CS4 scratch disc is a separate dedicated drive on the desktop. Both systems use Nvidia video and open GL is working fine on both computers. Both computers have the latest Nvidia drivers. Since there are no open GL problems, I assume that the video drivers are okay. As I have said, I see this problem on both my laptop and my desktop.

When my PSE10 stops responding, as it frequently does, it does not pay to wait. Even if it finally responds, I have to shut down my computer before I can access the app and begin work again.

I've been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for a couple of months to create 11x8.5 photo collage's as part of my digital scrapbook. Yesterday, when I tried to create a new collage the program stopped responding and forced me to close it. It will only do this with an 11x8.5, it's not a problem for any other size, unfortunately the rest of my pages are 11x8.5 so I really need to be able to use this size!

I have AutoCAD LT 2011 running on Windows 7 64. I'm using it since long time.
Two weeks ago I started having this problem: as soon as I select any command from the File menu that should open a dialog (Open... Save As... Import...) the program freezes and I see (not responding) in the upper left title bar.
No way to go on. The only solution is to close the program.
Reinstallation from scratch included. System recovery to factory image included. No solution.

Working in photopaint . . . all goes well until I try to save or close the file. Then it stops responding. When I try to close CorelDraw, it says that I cannot close it while I have the photo open in Photopaint. However, Photopaint is no longer running. This is new problem since I installed Patch 3.

I'm running Windows 7 64bit on a relatively high end PC: 2.65 gigahertz Intel Core i7 920, 6 GB ram, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 [Display adapter] (2x) in SLI, etc...
So when I attempt to open eps file, it simply hangs, and eventually says NOT RESPONDING. As I type this I've been attempting to open a file for over 30 minutes. I've tried rebooting to no avail.

Since upgrading the server in our office Autocad 2013 is having trouble opening files. When I attempt to open a file the progress bar gets to about 85%, a "not responding" message comes up for about 15-20 seconds, and then the file opens. Two workstations in the office have AutoCAD 2013, one has 8GB RAM and Windows 7 64 bit, the other has 16GB of RAM and also a WIndows 7 64 bit OS. Neither PC had issues opening files before the new server went in, and neither PC is having problems with any other network program. Is there somewhere within the program or in Autocad's registry entries that might still be pointing to the old server? I have tried the following, Firewall has been turned off, VP has been disabled, repair has been run on the program (through programs and features in the control panel). I have email support through Autocad and sent them an email this morning, but have yet to receive a response.

I was using Roto Brush for a while today and everything was working as expected. I Roto Brushed about 20 frames, just doing touchups where necessary. However, after a while, Roto Brush just stopped responding to new strokes. I could not add or remove from the mask. I've tried flushing the RAM and then restarting AE but the problem persists.
I'm using After Effects CC on Windows 7 64-bit with 16GB of RAM.
I made a screen cast to show the problem. You'll see me painting to add and remove from the mask on a couple of frames. Roto Brush looks like it's going to do something but then nothing changes in the mask.URL....

I have CS6 and LR4.3 installed (for a while). I am not not able to Edit In LR4.3 4 photos that I wish to make into a panorama. CS6 will start to the first window and then locks (Not Responding). I have uninstalled and reinstalled CS6 and delete the preferences, all to no avail.

My photoshop cs2 program has been running very well for the past year or two. I have started saving files back and forth between cs3( at school) and cs2 (at home) for a school project. All the sudden, as I was painting a background to place in my project (magic wand>move tool) my cursor becomes an hourglass, all panels become blank, and at the top is says Photoshop (Not responding). This has happened 4 times now and I have lost my work each time.

I installed, registered, activated etc. Photoshop CS3 on my laptop today and when I went to start it up, it went to about the point where it said 'staring plug-ins...' and then I got the Program Not Responding message and it shut down, before I even got to open a file or even get to that page. I only had the blue blox with text and the grey background, then it shut down.

less than an hour after running the latest Adobe updates, Cocktail, Repair Permissions, reboot 10.7.5 dragging an 8bit background layer from a small .jpg to a simple 16bit 70MB layered file i got this for about four minutes waiting for it to generate a crash report, but it cleared in the meantime
as i've had no previous issues like this, i hope it is not something new..i also seem to have a problem with Color Settings changing, but that is before 13.0.2 (General Purpose 2 was set when i looked after this hang)

I have been running Photoshop CS2 on my computer for about a month now, the full version, activated and registered. For some reason whenever I open a file, Photoshop stops responding; all it does is make a sound ("dun") sound whenever I click on the Photoshop window. The only button that works is the minimize button; I have to use Windows Task Manager to close the program.
Does anyone have any ideas what's going on and how I can fix this?

I have CS2 with Windows. It has been working perfectly but just recently some of the keys will not respond eg F7 for the layers.Also when trying to put Text on an image the text shows as a line ---------- but shows what is written in the layers comp.
Very annoying as I cannot gauge properly what I want to do.I'm not sure if it is something I have maybe altered in the set up unbeknowingly.

I have just reinstalled Adobe Photoshop CS2. It appears to install okay. When you start it up it appears to start okay, the splash screen appears and goes through the start up, that disappears and the normal working page appears, but as soon as I click on any menu,tool etc. it goes blank with the top left corner of the working page showing Adobe Photoshop (not responding). I also tried a "repair" from the unistaller, but no joy.
For info:
I am working on a Dell Dimension 9150 I am running XP pro sp3. AV is AVG and firewall is Comodo. I have never been able to get PShop working on this computer, so I don't think it is a PShop problem. I have stacks of disk space, and 2Gb RAM.

I replaced an older HP Pavilion (Windows XP OS) with a new Pavilion with 64-bit Vista Home Premium. Photoshop CS3 seems to install okay, but when I launch the application I get a blank screen with a "not responding" message. I've tried re-installing, updating, etc., but still get the same results. Bridge opens up just fine.Since I read that CS4 has native 64-bit support, I thought I might have better luck with that. But I'd like to be sure before I open the upgrade software package.Any thoughts, or similar experience? Also, I would probably uninstall PS3 again before installing the update since CS3 doesn't launch anyway. I don't need CS3 to be on the computer, do I, as long as I have the serial number?Thanks for any help and/or suggestions. I'm looking forward to being able to use Photoshop again, especially on the new computer (8 gb memory, ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics, AMD Phenom X4 9650 Quad Core Processor).

The problem I have with my software is when it has finish loading and I open a new document, the cursor or arrow appears as the hand tool and no matter what other tool I try to choose it never changes. If choose to uses brushes it still remains as a hand tool. Whats up with that. I tried restoring to default settings and clearing history nothing happens.

I was turning a mov. file into a gif. When I was finished I went to save for web & devices and after it finished loading... the gif couldn't be seen but a coral pink box took the space. Then I get a message stateing that Adobe CS5.1 is not responding... Then it closes down the program. I'm able to make other gifs. Even ones with more frames.They all turn out to be fine. It's just this certain one I try to make that always ends up closeing down the program. The file size is 248MB and the gif I'm trying to make only needs 91 frames. I even used the same mov. file and made a different gif from it and it worked perfectly! I've tried reinstalling but that didn't fix anything.

Even when selecting a default brush my brush stroke is not at all similar to the shape (slowly widening and then tapering off 'ie default preset') even when shape dynamics is turned on, as you can see in the photo. I'm certain it's not due to my tablet, as the sensitivity works fine in other programs. I am currently using CS5.

I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop CS3 from disc. Everything looks like it installs smoothly, but when I try to launch PS, it just hangs with a grey background and finallly says "not responding". I've tried to hold down ctrl-alt-shift to get the preferences menu, but nothing ever pops up. I also looked in AppDataRoamingAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS3Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings but there are no files located in this dir.

I have installed photoshop CS on a Dell Latitude e6520. The installation completes successfully and I was able to active the product via the telephone. However when I go to launch the product it get all the way to the work area and then when I attempt to click anyhwere in the application it says "Not Responding" and then closes the application.
I have updated the nVidia Driver thinking it maybe a grahphics driver issue but still no luck. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the product about a dozen times with no luck. What can I do to fix this problem.

When I activate liquify, there is no feedback in the editor/preview window. The blue OK button blinks as if its refeshing... but nothing ever happens---even if I wait for several minutes and even if its a simple lo res file. If I click OK, the effect is applied to the original image.
I have read other posts and tried deactivating "use graphics processor" but no change.
I have a 2010 12core macpro and the ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
I cannot seem to find info on ATI mac drivers--assuming there is a needed update. But from what i understand, graphics drivers are included in the OSX installation and updates.

for no explicable reason PS3 has stopped responding to a variety of commands and particularly to 'print'. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling
both photoshop and the Epson printer software - all to no avail. Could the problem lie with the Operating system which is Windows Vista Home Premium and if so how should I best proceed ?

Does anyone else have a problem with the tools not responding in the tool pallette? I have a problem with my tools randomly not responding when I click on them. Specifically the replace color tool and the blur/sharpen tools. I purchased this upgrade of PS CS about three weeks ago and everything worked fine at first, now the tools pallette is giving me problems. I tried reloading the program again and changing the properties, but neither works. I have windows XP installed.

We have been using Lightroom 4.2 with our Canon camera for over a year. We uploaded some pictures on Friday and it worked as usual. We tried uploading pictures on Sunday and lightroom does not respond. We keep getting an error message stating "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit is not responding. If you close the program, you might lose information". Nothing changed with the camera settings or lightroom. After we couldn't get it to upload, we updated to lightroom 4.4, and it still doesn't work.
