AAARRRGGGHHHH!!! LAG!!!

Yes, I know it’s been posted a gazillion times before, and I’ve read those threads AND Googled it. The only solution I’ve found is to reduce the amount of fonts installed… I tried that, and it’s still very slow. Dragging is slow, drawing is slow, everything is slow.

Most annoying thing is when I place a point with the Pen tool… Click and release, then quickly move the cursor to the next position… As I move the mouse away, it only just places the point causing the tangent handles to appear, making it a ‘curved’ point.

Anyways… I tried disabling every font except the Windows default ones, and it was still laggy. I can’t seem to find any other fix for it, except to revert back to CS, but I can’t do that since I’ve got a lot of CS2 files.

Help? I’m losing my patience with this piece of vector art I’m doing atm ☹
