  Im running Photoshop CS3 on Vista SP1

  nowadays when i open images, or just blank 'canvas', it will not respond.

  I reinstalled it ttwice, switchign from C drive to D drive, yet the problem persisted

  Sometimes it will hang and hang when i move the images around

  It's like virtual RAM or a page file but just for Photoshop. Since there's an issue with PS CS3, why not take this chance to uninstall it and install the new PS CS4 instead?
