    right, neither would I, because there were no changes to my OS prior to the upgrade, and that's when the performance went south.

    Bad for me since the first thing I do is uninstall everything except the operating system in itself.

    I can't recall having need for any of their software except Acrobat, and for a while I had Photoshop version 7. I can't stand programs that leave processes running after I close them. Acrobat always left acroRD32 .dll running after close, sucking up 32 meg of resource.

    Greetz.

    32mb might of been a big amount a few years back, but this day in age what with the amount of ram you can put in, hard drive sizes etc 32mb is a pittance to be worried about.

    I guess i just never liked the look or feel of Foxit reader.

    i use image ready, and photoshop on a regular basis, i haven't been able to find anything equivilant that suite's my needs. But they are installed on another machine that is used for Graphic related stuff.

    For some odd reason Gimp seems to lock up my windows machine.. I got over having to the puter everytime it happened.

    Trying to install master collection will take about the whole day to install.

    The programs are cool for the marketing guys but yeah , memory hog of note :P

    I'm not really a graphics guy, I have little more than a journeyman's knowledge of Photoshop or paint shop Pro. It's not a question of how much resource, it's just the idea of unnecessary processes running that I don't like. Like driving a car with the emergency brake on.
