photoshop 7 .., not working.. Options

[Fantasticx]

I try to load photoshop and it says it`s loading but suddenly it shuts down on me ! wat should i do.. please help ..

[think!IMAGINARIL...]

Downloading it again isn't a good idea.. Wastes time, when you could be reinstalling it.

An even better idea is exit processes from Task Manager. That makes it go faster.

Only end the useless ones, like AIM and iTunes Helper (if that's in there). And only the ones under YOUR username. NOT System. And DO NOT exit the exec application!

Ok. Don't reinstall it just yet.

I'm assuming that you have a Windows PC...
To exit processes from Task Manager, first press Ctrl+Alt+Del (Click on Task Manager if you have XP Professional, click Task Manager after C+A+D). Click on the processes tab. Then click on a process (something that has .exe after it in the white box. Preferably something useless like msmsgs.exe). After you have the process highlighted, click "End Process" in the bottom right corner.

And as I said before, only end the useless ones, like AIM (aim.exe) and iTunes Helper (iTuneshelper.exe, if that's in there). And only the ones under YOUR username. NOT System. And DO NOT exit the exec.exe!

BTW: ending a process will end what ever you have open that's related to the process. Like make you sign off AIM. Not with iTunes Helper though. You don't really need iTunes Helper for iTunes.

And I suggest when using Photoshop, don't keep Internet Explorer or Firefox or what ever you use for internet open. And don't be on AIM or scanning for viruses or using iTunes or Winamp or whatever. Just do Photoshop and nothing else 'cause your computer doesn't sound like the multi-tasking type.
