I have been having this problem since the suite was installed, but recently has gotten much slower. Any time I click open or save it takes 8-10 seconds just for the dialog box to come up. CS1 was lightening fast - I know that was ages ago, but I can't help compare the two. I have the same problem with InDesign and Illustrator. The suite is running on a Windows 7 machine through a home network, accessing files from an XP machine as well as a Buffalo Linkstation. Once the dialog box comes up, and I double click, the file is pretty quick to appear. I have researched online and I believe the problem to be somewhere in the network or the settings. The network is quick, Windows Explorer has no delay in opening or finding files, nor do other programs outside of Creative Suite. I did an experiment to narrow down the problem - I closed Photoshop, unplugged the network cable, and reopened the program. AMAZING - it was SO FAST to open the dialog box for both opening and saving files! I then closed Photoshop again, plugged the network cable back in, and opened Photoshop. It was back to the slow opening of the dialog box. Everything else in the programs runs fine - no delay when performing operations in any of the Creative Suite - it has to do with the network and how CS is looking for the files. Can anyone help me, I am so frustrated - this is adding unnecessary time to everything I do and I dread opening and saving any files!!
