    This is a bug in CS3.. I’m afraid you will have to reinstall the program..

    Just kidding, haha.. The lines you are seeing is called a grid. It helps when you need to line things up in the comp. To get rid of it, you can either:

    a) Hit control + ‘ or command + ‘

    b) go to View > Show Grid
