Help!

Whenever i go to soften fill edges with values over 10 my system locks up. anyone know how t fix it? i tried reinstalling but it doesnt seem to help

AMD2800+
1GB DDR 400mhz
GeFroce 5600 256MB

ur computer probably cant handle softening certain shapes/objects that ur trying to soften. Softening takes up alot of CPU usage, so just try waiting a long time if its realy important that u soften it.

but everything is up to dateā€¦its not like i have a bad computer
