Adobe Premire, After Effects, Illustrator, and Flash are all 32-bit applications, meaning you could install 32GB of RAM and it wouldn't help you a bit! I'm still running CS4 (yes, in 2015 ) and just have to tweak other parts of my laptop to improve performance (SSD, Faster RAM instead of more, and an external USB 3.0 flash drive for exports and previews). I know this is an old thread, but thought I would clarify something. Īlso, a general comment that Win7 64bit and only 4Gig of ram is barely giving any ram for program use.

1st, CS4 and Win7 'sometimes' means you must right click the PPro (and Encore) icon and set the program to run in WinXP compatibility modeĢnd, have you installed any Adobe updates?Īll Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product įor CS4 you must update the Roxio component Īlso, right click the PPro/Encore icon and select Run as Administrator, which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and which fixes several 'odd' problems.
