The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Photoshop CS3 Performance issue with CSRSS.EXE using 100% of the processor

Asked by ITS_Tim in Windows XP Operating System, Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, Adobe Photoshop

Tags: cs3, photoshop

I am requesting help again because of Photoshop. Previously (on the same computer) I had installed CS2 and had some pretty bad performance issues. They were solved simply by turning off FONT PREVIEW. However, in this latest version, CS3, the fix is not as forthcoming, but I do believe it is still font related. What happens now in Photoshop, it loads up beautifully, at a fair speed of about 45 seconds. But, as soon as I click on the type tool or palette I have an 8 minute wait as it gathers info from my 4000+ fonts, after which it is fine. During the time it is doing this csrss.exe is using 50% max on this machine (listed below) as well as 100% on my office Machine which has an Athlon 64 +3400 processor. Disabling font preview does NOT work in this situation at all. Adobe Illustrator, Acrobat and Flash CS3 versions all load extremely slow as well. I believe the only differences is that Photoshop waits until you access the type tool to build a font library, whil the toher build it at load up. I am looking for a solution to this slow down in my productivity and I don't want to hear that I must slim down my font collection :) I am still using Adobe Type Manager 4.1, which I realize is outdated too.
I will reward the max points to whoever figures this out.
My computer is:
AMD 64 X2 4200+
DFI Lanparty NF4 UT SLI-DR
2GB Dual Channel DDR (4X1024MB) Corsair XMS
2 - 300gb Seagate SATA 150 HD's
1 - XFX nVidia 8600gt 360MB GDDR3 Video Card (sli able but only got one right now)
DVD Burner and Flash Media Drive
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
