this is my mac at work.
Mac OS X version 10.4.11 tiger
processor 4x2.5 GHz PowerPC G%
4.5 GB DDR2 SDRAMi had the IT guy here format the whole computer again, but the problem is photoshop keeps freezing when i work, when i move vectors, and stuff, when i drag from illustrator, whatever i do like 5 out of 9 times the machine freezes up and i have to wait a long time for it to unfreeze again, like, i go for a cigarette, come back and wait a few minutes and back to work, untill it does it again.
many times, i have to restart or force quit photoshop and loose whatever i was doing.
its making me waste many hours of work, and the IT guy just told me yesterday that what is it that i do to the computer that make it not work. (i think it might be me cause at home my macbook pro is acting stupid too)
i have no plugins, and i just have indesing illustrator and photoshop installed, nothing else, no other software i dont need.
And cs3 is legitimate, i tried downloading updates but it doesnt work and here at work internet is like mad slow, so slow i barely go online, i was looking online for answers but couldnt find anything, untill these guys get me a macpro, (if they do), im gonna be having this problem and they cant solve it, any one has any idea what is it that is causing photoshop to be so slow, i want to go home before 6:30 pm today.

I have a monumental freeze if I attempt to click-reset the fore and background colour selector to Black and White. Its just buggy as fuck in Adobe land. Thing I would suggest from experience:
1. Do not have internet or email open as soemtime an email's autofetch can somehow buggle about with Photoshop when its processing
2. Do not flip out of Photoshop to do soemthing else, even though you're suppsoed to be able to.
Other than that I think its a case of living with it. If someone sends me an email while I'm saving a PSD, it permanently freezes up Photoshop and I have to force re-start.

do you think it might be a scratch disk issue?

One other thing:
If you stop smoking, your hair becomes lustrous and glossy, like a Pantene ProV advert. Also, erections are strong and powerful, like a proud shaft of hardwood.

Several problems here.
1. You're not on an intel mac which CS3 is technically supposed to run on (so you may be running on an emulator).
2. You're not on leopard yet which has now finally sorted out most of it's teething bugs.
3. You get someone else to do your IT instead of looking at it yourself.
4. You smoke. Spooky's right about the hair.

maybe too much info in the clipboard. Try using place rather than copy paste from illustrator. if you notice PS gets slow after a paste, purge your clipboard to get rid of the data. big images/dense vector data takes up huge memory.
