Ok...

Stalls when clicking new file, takes about 10 seconds before it'll recognize it.

Stalls when adding new layers,
Stalls when adding blending options,
Stalls when opening font list....

Like wtf I thought this was suppose to be a good programme?!

Anyone else had any of above problems, if so how'dya solve it?

I've re-installed about 5 times.. including formatting the partition its on. Also un-in then re-in....

Maybe im just cursed?

Possibly with Norton running in the background?

That's the key question...Loads of it...At least a 1 GB

For maximum performance use the following:

Processor - at least P4 2.0
Fast EIDE hard drives or SCSI, Raid array

Even with lower grade PCS I have crashed using Photoshop maybe 10 times in 10 years. Even with 250 or so plug-ins installed. You might have too many TSRs loading on your startup sequence. Your installation might not be stable. Trying uninstalling and reinstalling if problems continue.

I remove everything running in the taskbar, background.
512mb ram. Even though its not 1gb its still sufficient.

It only happens sometimes, which pisses me off moreso.
