"Save as" shuts down PS7

[Many Feathers]

When I am trying to "save as" with a TIFF file in PS7.0.1, it was sporadically shutting down PS. Now this is happening all the time...I can't seem to Save As. I am running on Windows XP Professional.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your fast reply.

Just to clarify, the computer does not lock up, shut down or reboot. It is Photoshop that shuts down.... Sounds to me like a different problem then in the above mentioned link. What do you think?

Thanks again,

First try to reset your preferences per the procedure in the FAQ.

I'm running XP Home and PS7 and this same thing happens to me sometimes. I don't know if it has ANYThing to do with the system being a fragmented mess, I only remember to do this when I start to have problems, but it seems to help prevent the sudden shut down when trying to save something when it's all cleaned up. Again, I don't know if it's even related. I've wondered if the 7.0.1 update would solve it. Need to do that, too.

try post #3.

Thanks for the responses. I will reset preferences (sometimes, when it crashes, PS opens as though preferences were never set and I have to reset them anyway...it's just that this happens quite often and I'm wondering what makes it happen...perhaps I'll just have to reset preferences every time I open PS :-) and I'll try a defrag too...

Thanks again,

If you have to reset preferences that often, there's something going on on your machine.

Either something loaded in startup, or other rogue software conflicts, or you have a HD issue.

I've been using PS since version 5.5 and have never had to reset my preferences. While many folks here in the forum do have to reset their preferences, there is something going on that is machine specific if it's recurring.

Peace,
Tony
