Sorry Ken, been a bit preoccupied with other stuff last few days.

Are we discussing PC hardware or Apple Mac hardware?

If you are running Apple hardware with PC emulation software, like for example VM ware Fusion 4, then that would explain a lot. Mac's will run MS Windows, and quite well BUT for heavyweight stuff like Photoshop you need to run native software and the latest best sorted OS available for reliability and best experience. Photoshop runs perfectly on my Mac mini's and on my friends iMac, straight out of the box.

Emulation software is best kept for specialist utilities which are only available for windows.

Once we know what hardware you are using will be better able to advise meaningfully.

As for resetting Ps to defaults, here is a screenshot of my Prefs window which is default. I have now changed the scratch drive to the bottom 500Gb drive which is actually empty. But the pref's panel is from a new, clean install of PS and has never been touched, in fact it's the first time I have opened it! LOL
