hk_doggie Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Is there anyone suffering the CS2 memory leakage problem? My CS2 eatsup memory like crazy (it chucks down about 6-8MB per second, even noimage is loaded) and it's totally unstoppable. The problem juststarted today. PS 7 works fine on my PC. I have 1GB and it eats my memup to 2GB and still eating (with 1 60MB tif opened)...until I shutdown CS2. It looks like a severe bug to me.<br><br>Any solution?

dglickstein Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Mr. Doggie, How are you determining that CS2 is eating up your RAM? dG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hill Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I have had CS2 installed since it came out, and have not had any problems yet. Do you have any plug-ins installed that might be doing it? This is a first that I have heard of this type of problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO FILE is loaded into CS2. CS2 cache level is 1, memory usage: 4% (36MB) (avail. RAM=908MB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk_doggie Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 No extra plugins installed. I have reinstalled CS2 already. I googled and see people having the same problem, no solution found though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis lee Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hey HK, Sounds a bit odd to me, have you tried establishing your scratch discs on seperate hard drives? What about Bridge? Is it launching automatically when you start photoshop? Good Luck. I had to re-install once when Photoshop would simply not open any files. Adobe has the proper uninstall and re-install procedure on their website. Might be worth taking a look at to make sure your re-install is actually a fresh start. I found this page and worked my way around from there, perhaps it could help get you started in another avenue if you haven't been here already. http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/327279.html Good luck again.

kuryan_thomas Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I remember reading at some Photoshop engineer's blog that this could be caused by bad fonts on your system. I wish I could remember the URL of that blog. It talked about how they actually went out to a user's home and debugged the problem. Apparently if you just uninstall one font after another, eventually the problem stops - at that point, you can even go ahead and re-install all your fonts and it will still work.

sean de merchant httpw Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I have been running CS almost since it came out without issue. So I would blame this on a configuration issue or corruption of a file at your end. How many fonts do you have loaded on your system? How many brushes do you have loaded in the brushes palette? These all eat up memory and if you have thousands of fonts or brushes loaded this could be an issue. First, make sure you run a thorough virus scan on your system with an up to data virus scanner as that is a potential issue too. Then uninstall any fonts you have added and roll back to the default set by moving all additional fonts out of the font path and into a temporary backup folder. Then, it sounds like it is time to uninstall and reinstall PS as something is wrong and you could have a corrupted file. Beyond that, just keep debugging the system until you can isolate the cause. hope this helps, Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly_flanigan1 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Keeping your quanity of fonts at a minimum is a decent thing to do. Here at the print shop we have many many many fonts; but just load the most commons ones, to controll weirdness with some programs. There are a zillion fonts.

kelly_flanigan1 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 With "Bridge"; the browser in CS2, the memory used for bridge.exe will slowly increase as it reads the files in a directory it is peaking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk_doggie Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 WoW! I found the sucker--Ifonts.fon, I think some Chinese software installed that font to my font folder. The CS2 is running like a charm now. <p> Solution:<br> 1) Move suspected fonts type to a folder, start CS2, check if CS2 still has memory leaks: Yes->Step 2, No->Step 3<br> 2) If so, move more fonts and repeat step 1 until memory stop leaking.<br> 3) If no, move the fonts back by group to the fonts folder, repeat step 1, this way, you will be able to locate which font is causing the problem.<p> <b>THANKS A LOT FOR EVERY1'S INPUT!</b> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
