i am not having good luck with Photodesk 3.09.
today i ran it, it got as far as the splash screen and the message
"abandoned images remain from a previous session", click anything, and
the machine hangs. no use from Escape, Alt-Break, Ctrl-Break, must
reset. this is typical.
yesterday i tried running it after a Shift-poweron (ie, without other
software that normally runs at boot time). that got a bit further. i
had a little job to do with masking out a background. i work for ten
minutes or so, fixing with spacebar as i go. then the airbrush, but
at the second squirt i get an error, then "filecore in use" and can't
save my work. i also saw "Plug-in saver for default save filetype is
missing." finally need to reset.
i'm on a StrongArm RiscPC with 128Mb of ram, Castle USB card and
mouse, OS 4.39.
any clues, anybody? i had similar bad luck with 3.08 and was hoping
the new version would fix things.
by the way, the message about "abandoned images remain" (on both
versions) seems suspicious, because in Preferences i have set it not
to save such stuff.
