OK so here's the problem.

I got a Photoshop 6 CD from my cousin a while ago and installed it on my PC. It worked fine, no problems at all.

Then a couple of weeks ago I upgraded my computer (including a new HDD and a fresh install of Windows XP) but after installing Photoshop on this "new" computer, whenever I try do stuff it freezes for a few seconds at a time.

I click a button and then the whole program just stops responding for a few seconds - this can be caused by anything, and even just task switching back into Photoshop can cause it sometimes. It sometimes as well as freezing does that dodgy windows XP whiteing out the controls thing, until it unfreezes again, at which point I can carry on working.

Now, I was wondering if anyone had any similar experience and could help me out, or maybe offer suggestions as to why it may be doing this?

I'm running on Win XP Pro SP2 with an AMD Athlon 64 3200 @ 2.01Ghz with 1GB PC3200 RAM

Any help is greatly appreciated and if you need any other info just ask


Just another thing; I tried it and got the problem before I'd even set up a connection to the internet, so I doubt it's a virus or spyware.
