Might be my quirk, but a little tickle in my head suggests that memory  
management has often been a problem with the first releases of Photoshop.

I suppose the path is Windows own 'editor', then Photoshop Elements, then  
Photoshop depending on how serious you are. Still when you consider you  
can get the latest Paint Shop Pro for under £80 and Elements for under £55  
jumping up to £644 for Photoshop is a chasm.
