Open Office and Photoshop hang ; GDi32 miso[ at ]sushi.com 10/24/2008 8:51:44 AM Well, it is back again. My X64 running on an AMD64 X2 4400 gets in this mode where two programs hang: photoshop 6 and open office calc. I installed open office 3 and it made no difference. This is not a matter of software updates, since this problem mysteriously comes and goes. When photoshop hangs, it is in gdi32.dll. Here are the results from a search on gdi32.dll http://www.lazygranch.com/temp/gdi32.gif Now I assume the only gdi32.dll that matters are located in c:\WINDOWS \system32 and C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64 Now from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948590/en-us under "for all supported X64-based editions of WIndows XP Professional, we have Gdi32.dll 5.2.3790.4237 This matches the rev I have in the system32 directory. However, I have a smaller version of the file in SysWOW64. Does this make sense?
