"Photoshop not responding" tip
I'm sure most of you use photoshop. If you get the messege
corrupted. The files should be in "Documents and
settings/user/application data/adobe/photoshop 7" folder. This is
typically hidden, so you may have to enable hidden folders if you don't
have it so now.
if you can not find the file like i could not there is a faster way to do the same thing.

"Photoshop not responding" and then the program locks up and quits. I had the problem and found out the answer.
What I would suggest is deleting your Photoshop Preferences file. Then relaunch Photoshop so it can remake it. It MAY becorrupted. The files should be in "Documents and
settings/user/application data/adobe/photoshop 7" folder. This is
typically hidden, so you may have to enable hidden folders if you don't
have it so now.
if you can not find the file like i could not there is a faster way to do the same thing.
There's a much easier way to delete the Photoshop preferences folder.
Simply launch Photoshop, and press CTRL-ALT-SHIFT as the splash screen appears. You will be asked if you wish to delete your preferences. Answer 'Yes', and hey-presto everything works!

Nice tip Gary. I've never had this happen with the newer CS versions, yet. Are you on a Mac or PC? I will try this on my Mac tomorrow just to see if the keyboard shortcut works. I wonder if this will work with Illustrator too. Hmmmmm.

I'm on both i had the problem alot on cs3 cause i loaded too many fonts and if your computer crashes alot like this one does it will mess up your ps file. this just makes it where you have to just resset you workspace i have not tried it on my mac but the apple key replaces the ctrl key on a mac . I'm sure it will work with illustrator as well.

I tried this on CS 3 Photoshop this morning and I never got a window asking to delete preferences. I tried Apple Control Shift....Apple Option Shift....Apple Option Control.....nothing. Maybe doesn't work on OSX Snow Leopard. Haven't had the chance to try it on Illustrator but if it doesn't work on Photoshop.....

Well Ken how often have you every heard of people having a problem with a mac. since it's a better OS then 7 they don't have the bugs or the program issues.Trust me i have both machines and I lean more to a mac at time but with the new power house i'm having built i might change my mind.

We live in a PC world and we do have a couple running some RIP's. We also have our servers running on Windows 2003 Server. I've used both over the years and love the Macs so far. The biggest bonus is not having to worry about viruses like the PC world. In the 15 years we've been in business I've only had one Mac virus years ago and it wasn't malicious. I got it from a customers disk and got rid of it pretty quickly. But as with any computer Mac or PC, they're only as good as the person pushing the keys.
