Slows down to a crawl!

| john.carass 2003-11-27, 5:42 pm |
| Hi,
Have Photoshop 6 running in 98SE, it has slowed down to a crawl, almost
unusable in every application.
If I reset everything by ctrl/alt/shift at start-up then everything is back
to normal speed for two or 3 uses of the program then it goes slow again.
I am not doing anything different and this has only happened recently.
Any ideas??
Regards

| Hi,
MMM... Scratch discs, well, having just checked in Preferences, None! I
don't know if this changes as it slows down or if I have to define these?
Available Ram is set to 116956K.

Are any other applications running slow?
Check memory for something leaking. Defrag the hard drive.

| The scratch disk refers to your hard drive, you define the scratch disk
in preferences; try and set the first choice as a separate drive, if you
have one and try not to use your boot partition at all if possible. Your
scratch disk needs to be as fast and unfragmented as possible, so you
are looking for the drive with the the most space and least usage as
your primary disk.

P.S. Personally win2k or xp would be a better choice because they have
better memory management. My fathers machine using Win98 or WinMe, can't
remember which, would be reduced to a crawl without him needing to open
any programs, it would just get slower and slower.
