adobe illustrator 'ctrl+c' not...

Dear Adobe

I work for sierra atlantic and we purchased a license version, the problem is i am working in illustrator and photoshop at the same time, when i create a graphic in illustrator, i copy it and paste in photoshop, but when i am done in illustrator and pressed ctrl+c, and jumped to photoshop the system just hangover or does not respond for around 5mins or more, and then it comes back, this is making my work very slow, please give me a suggestion how to get out this problem, thank you

What are the system specs and what content do you actually paste? Large items with lots of paths will cause considerable memory and thus may take a while for showing up anywhere. also, if you are on a system with only very little RAM, the background app (Photoshop) will be hibernated to the system swap file, so when you switch to it, it needs to be ''woken up'', meaning all its components need to be moved from the virtual memory back into the physical memory.

In addition to Mylenium's comments... What is the ''graphic'' comprised of? Raster elements? Heavy use of blending modes and/or transparencies?

My system is having 512mb nvidia graphics card, 3gb ram, and enough hard disk space and i even specified the scratch disk to D: where i had more than enough disk space, and my files are very small size illustrator 260kb and photoshop is around 1.5mb thats it, please let me know the best possible solutions, thank you for your response

Mmh, that indeed sounds like a simple task even on weaker systems. Are there perhaps any discrepancies in color space settings and profiles? maybe some conversion going on because of that?

It does not sound like this would be a problem, but just in case, do you have an extraordinary amount of points in your art?

Are using fonts in your file?

I am thinking that there is a font data base that might be corrupt. There are utilities that can clear these files for you Mylenium would have to help you on that one though if you are running a pc.

Try to create a new user account and log into that new user account and see if the problem goes away if it does we have a better idea what might be happening.
