It’s been running fine, then ‘suddenly’ Photoshop starts hanging every ten seconds or so. I unplug the network cable and it runs fine - 'course all the files I need are on the server (shared projects etc, can’t copy locally).
I plug in the cable in & it’s slow again. The only thing I’ve done that could be considered unusual is ran a copy of Unreal Tounament that I copied over from my other machine.
It’s a Dual 1.7ghz Xeon, Elsa Gloria DCC (detonator drivers) & 1024mb RAM. OS is Windows XP pro.
Why might this be, can anyone help?
That’s interesting, I have the opposite problem. Laptop with Windows 2000 Pro. When connected to the network at work, everything is fine. When not connected, I get out of memory errors for various things (i.e. running java for a certain program). I have to ask someone at work next time I’m there. Increasing the swap file size doesn’t help.
My experience has been that if you have mapped drives and either the shares that were mapped no longer exist, or network latency is causing a slow down, you may see behaviour like that. Try opening My Computer and see if you have any Network shares mapped…
