I had the same problem with Photoshop CS but changed the prefs to use the c drive as the scratch disk. Seems the default for scratch disk was 'startup'.

Chazs Senior Member 515 posts Joined Aug 2002 Location: NW Washington More info | I had a similar problem this week. I photomerged 18 RAW images together and ended up with a 554MB file that PS worked on VERY slowly. Even after quitting PS and starting it up again it was still dreadfully slow. Windows task manager was at 90% on its Page File usage (whatever the hell that is). As soon as that slowly crept down to 5% PS was fast again. Still not sure what was sucking up the memory (and hence, speed).

It might take a few minutse for it to free all that up if you quit PS and started it again.

I have a built-in graphics card on my machine, 64MB, just an intergrated one. No other application runs slowly though, but I wonder.... anyone?

I also set 85% of memory in preferences. I reckon 1GB is the bare minimum for PS CS Canon 1DS MKIII,7D, 85 1.2L, 24 F1.4L, 135 F2L, 200mm F2.8L,50mm F1.4, 120-300 F2.8, 12-24mm f 4.5
