…sometimes Adobe photoshop doesn’t start. it stays freezed on the starting screen. i have to stop it by the task manager and try again. i have other problems like this with other applications, but it’s not the same in a session. sometimes outlook goes wrong, sometimes is msn, sometimes is photoshop. some ideas?
