Green progress line.

[Mavis Tompkins]

After using Photoshop CS5 for a few years, (amateur only), I am now having trouble each time I use a tool on my photo's, i.e. for contrast, filters, etc., in that a broad green moving 'progress' line scrolls across the top, and this takes several seconds. I can't stop it, and it is wasting precious time. I am an 85 yr old amateur but enjoy working on PS.

Hello Mavis and welcome to PSG.

I'm not familiar with the green progress line that your speaking of, but I'm assuming it's associated with Ps running a bit slow.

Can you tell us what your computer specs are?

Thank you. The green band that goes across is a sort of percentage line. It happens whenever I click on 'Crop' . My laptop is an HP Pavilion 15-n276sa 15.6"
I am using Windows 10.
I have not experienced this problem before, I has occurred recently. A friend says it happens to his computer when adjusting a number of photo's, But I only use Photoshop ocasionally, and on one photo at a time.
