Weird CS4 hanging issue in windows Vista when opening files with PS already loaded


i installed demo. have dual monitor setup running windows vista ultimate x64 8gb ram ...

it appears have both 32bit , 64bit versions of ps cs4 installed. if open either of these apps, choose jpg on desktop, right-click in windows, choose, 'open with' , select 'adobe photoshop cs4', ps hangs - period. after while, clicking title bar of app (which kind of menu bar in version) causes return old windows title bar shows image name , zoom etc, usual (not responding) @ end of title bar text!

it no matter version (32 or 64bit) presently loaded. if have cs4 loaded , select 'edit photoshop' in lightroom 2.1 (my main app configured output files in 16bit psd format).

another weird quirk found in cs4 - if select 'help', 'system info' displays info on second monitor, not first! figure screen res shown second monitor (monitor 3 in vista) running 1280x1024. not sure if has effect on monitor profile used ps - hope not 1st monitor calibrated one!

thanks, paul

freeagent - did more testing , figured issue think! had selected 'enable opengl drawing' in performance preferences , though have latest nvidia driver (downloaded today) still causes issue!

one issue have noticed though since figuring how fix - have 2 monitors , on left 1 have panels un-docked , laid out neatly on desktop. have main ps window it's height shrunk slim possible , filling top width of 2nd monitor. in cs3 when open image, remembers last 1 opened , uses same place - includes if had image in own window on main monitor. in cs4, seems want open them in tabbed dialogs within ps main window , reason on minimal magnification, need drag tab on main monitor every time , zoom in decent size displayed.

is there anywhere configure want open images?

thanks, paul
