I have a bunch of apps always going at once, like 5-6, hidden in dock. Office, safari, PHotoshop etc.

NOticed recently, that PHotoshop seems to not function, sometimes, when I click on it. It can be difficult to quit from as well-- beachball.... But when I reboot whole computer everything is ok.
Any ideas appreciated.

Is this a problem generated by fact I'm not opening and closing PS each time I use it?
Only with Photoshop right now though.

Over GB of Ram, dual 1.8 G5; OS 10.3.6

Everything seems ok now, but as few days go by........maybe this is normal for an intensive app like photoshop?

As a general check, run the procedure specified in my Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
Good Luck!
