I have Photoshop 7 on a Dell XPS computer running Windows 10. When I try to resize an image using the Image Size tool the program freezes. This problem started about three weeks ago. I have owned this program for several years with no problems until now. I have tried unistalling and reinstalling but I have the same problem. thanks for your help.

Did Window 10 do an update three weeks ago?

Hi
The update to Windows may have made Photoshop 7 unusable. Try resetting Preferences after baking up any customization. Follow the steps to "Using a Keyboard Shortcut" here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html
Some of the other methods only apply to newer versions.
Photoshop has only been sold by subscription since 2013. Here are the plans if you decide to upgrade:

You can get a 7-day trial first to confirm it works.

Photoshop 7 from 2002???!!! OMG. To be honest, I'm very surprised it lasted this long. Get Photoshop Elements or Photoshop CC, both are way better than what you have now and built to work with modern operating systems.
Photoshop Elements (approx $100, no subscription needed)
https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html
Or get the Creative Cloud Photography Plan -- approx $10/month for 12 months. Includes the latest versions of these great products & services:

when you have clicked on Image Size and it freezes do this:
Press Alt + Space, Press M (for Move)
Press any arrow key once
Now move your mouse without clicking.
The hidden popup will “stick” to your cursor and reappear.
Click to drop it.
Get ready! An upgraded Adobe Community experience is coming in January.
