  CS3 Cursor Lag & Stutter

  Posted by Jack Boyd on March 26, 2009 at 8:45 pm

  I’ve done a search and did not find a solution.
  When working in Photoshop CS3 I get a horrible lag on my cursor if I use the space bar to enable the hand tool and move around the canvas with my mouse.
  The problem disappears as soon as I use control + space bar and zoom in or alt + space bar to zoom out. However the very next time that I use the space bar to move around, the delay comes back until I zoom in or out. This happens with my mouse or my Wacom tablet. It makes the Wacom tablet almost unusable.

  Specs:
  Vista32 Ultimate
  Intel Quad Core Q6600
  4Gb Ram
  nvidia 8800GT video card

  The Wacom people said, “That’s just how it is for everyone. It’s a problem with Adobe software.” Judging from the lack of post on this problem, it makes me think I’m an isolated incident.

  Thanks for any help,
  Jack

  no, CS3 had all kinds of strange cursor/zoom problems, perhaps that’s why they redid the engine in CS4. Anyway, have u reset ur preference files? That’s the first thing I always do whenever PS acts wonky, which is rarely, and 4 times out of 5 that fixes it for me. Good luck!
