I did a format this weekend, and put in my OS, updated Nvidia driver, updated all drivers etc, etc. Put in MS Office 2007 as this was in there before. I then installed CS4 and opened it, set my preferences up, closed it down, opened it again, opened a new doc, tried the brush tool and serious, serious lag.
I am talking about this is the same system in every respect pre Format.
What could make a Format cause lag? Nothing.
The problem is either Nvidia's new drivers, or an Adobe Problem. Either way, I am not keeping this product as before it is resolved, my 30 days will be up.
I wanted to share this information because this was like a test where CS4 "should" have performed like a charm. Instead it's like a dead horse, or a half finished product.
On an added side note. I run Maxon 4D, and Vue XStream on openGL, and guess what? NO issues with those programs rendering. No lag.....just superb performance.
CS4 is now deactivated. :| CS3 is now back. :)

Your reply is senseless for the information I thought to share with others!
The comment was because some people seem to have got hold of unofficial trial versions of CS4, although Adobe say the trial download will not be available until mid-November.
An Adobe engineer has said that these unofficial trial versions may be from an earlier build than the retail version which you have.

Anthony.
What exactly does the Photoshop Elements 7 trial download aborted before
completion have to do with possible lag in Photoshop CS4 Extended?

May I suggest you roll back a display driver and report back?

Well, *exactly* that Mr. Joslin was commenting in an earlier post (#3) in this thread about people obtaining unofficial versions of the trial. I quote:-
"...The comment was because some people seem to have got hold of unofficial trial versions of CS4, although Adobe say the trial download will not be available until mid-November..."
And this seems to be how it might be done.
Anthony.
Thank you for the suggestion....but I covered all bases.

Installing the chipsets drivers first thing after the reformat is a really good idea....
Hope this helps.
BTW...I don't have any lag any more after making sure the above is in place.
updated Nvidia driver,
am talking about this is the same system in every respect pre Format.
Did you revert to the same drivers you had before?
I wonder how many of us would have purchased this edition if we HAD been
permitted a trial download? Not me!
You are permitted to a trial prior to purchasing. No one is obligated to purchase it now.
