hi there...i am new to this board and i have to say after looking thru some threads it seems very freindly and helpfull..
i am sorry to make this my first post but it is a problem that has been bothering me for some time..
ok onto the problem..
i use version 6.01
i have the primary scratch disk set to my mian drive ...c 6 gig free
then set to my other drives d..(partition) 16 gig
e..(secondary drive) ...18 gig
amount of ram was set to 85 % (then moved back to 50%)
i have also tried using the other drives for my first scratch disk..
everything seems to take ages to do even the smallest of things
i thought it may have been the size of the image i was using but even smaller ones (20 meg) things are very slow..
i have formatted ...reinstalled (twice) and ran photoshop without any other program installed ...still the same..
i have defragged all drives and partitions..
i used to have a p3 550 that ran better than my current system ...
which is...
windows xp pro
amd 1600+ o/c 1800+
640 meg pc 133
30 gig 7200 rpm
40 gig 5400 rpm
any help / tips ect would be greatly appreciated
thank you
