    Angry Photoshop CS4 keeps crashing!

    Hi, I'm new and I have a problem that's driving me crazy. I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS4 and I love the new features, but the program won't stop crashing on me. It simply closes at random moments without so much as an error message. Most often it happens whenever I try to scan something, but it can even happen when the program is idle. Reinstalling didn't solve anything. Please help me fix this!

    Windows XP
    Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0GHz
    1024MB RAM
    Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller
    DirectX 9.0c

    I've had no trouble running CS2. And when CS4 is not crashing, I don't notice any significant slowdown or other flaws.

    I have the same problem. Brand new iMac (Dec.2008). PSCS4 simply quits at random, and does it so often, I've gone back to CS3 (which, thankfully, I left intact). I have no clue how to fix it, either. Very buggy.

    It's a long story, so try this and the other related links on that page:

    GPU and OpenGL Features and Limitations in Photoshop CS4

    Adobe has said it many time in the past; crashes in Photoshop are in most cases related to the graphics driver. CS4 however relies more on the graphics driver than any previous Photoshop version, that's why people see more crashes in CS4 related to this.

    It's no use. I have the latest driver for my Intel 82865G graphics controller and OpenGL acceleration disabled in Photoshop, but the program keeps crashing. What now?

    Same Problem

    I have recently upgraded from CS3 to CS4 and it crashes all the time now too. It is possible that I may need a new graphics controller.
    I am running:

    Windows XP
    Intel Pentium 4, 2.80GHz
    1 gig of RAM

    I dont know how to find out what my graphics controller is... can anyone help me out with that?
