I have adobe photoshop CS2 (updated) and I have a problem with the canvas image updating. The canvas doesn't update right away when I click on either the eye icon in layers, or undo. The only time it updates the canvas image is when I use the selection tool on it.

here is an image of it just incase i didn't make sense to you. tried hiding the layer by click on the eye icon but wouldn't.
I don't know if this will help but I am running on an Acer Aspire 1641WLMI laptop, Win xp pro, 1.6ghz pentium m, 1.25gb ddr2 ram, intel 900gm graphics card, 80gb hard drive. |

1.2 gb of 4200 ddr2 kingston notebook ram
this problem also happened when i installed the older version(CS) after a fresh install of windows. i thought it was a pagedisk/scratchdisk/ram problem also but i'm now starting to believe that it might be my notebook(hardware issue-maybe the graphics card?) |

i've done lots of experimenting with RAM and found that with over 1GB RAM on 55% speeds up opening of files etc, i have 2.5GB of RAM in my workstation and find that any more than 55% it has a dramatic effect on the performance of Opening of files etc..
have u tried turning off hardware acceleration on the graphics card?
what cache level have u got it set on?
PS really doesn't like having scratch on the same as ur system.. |

yep, my desktop has 2 gb. it's great.
and yep. i did try turning off hardware acceleration. still nothing. the cache level is on 8 now, but i've also tried different settings for it and still nothing happened. for the scratch, initially it was on the same partition, but i later changed it to a different one. still nothing. |
