It is taking me forever to get anything done. Nothing else on my computer is dragging like these Adobe programs. Like, to preview in bridge, you have to sit there for at least 30 seconds for the thumbs to clear up every time you scroll down. When working in photoshop, the processing time is fine, it is pretty much just bridge that is so slow.

Now in LR, it is the same super slow previews, but in develop mode, it is even slower. Like, you drag a slider and wait, and then finally the change happens. There is a seconds long delay for both previews to come up and any action taken to take effect.

My husband seems to think it is because my computer has 64 bit Vista installed, but that Adobe programs only work with 32. Is this the case? Any other ideas about what could be going on? I'm working from a Dell xps laptop (attached to a bigger monitor) dual core 2.2 gh.
