One computer that I'm working on Dell Optiplex 960 with 4gb RAM is haning when I try and run a script.  I created just a simple on to resize and image and it won't do that.  Any ideas on what to look for to get this computer in line?

The script I want to run is more complicated than just a resize, but even a simple script like this resize script hangs photoshop:

#target photoshop

var docRef = activeDocument

docRef.resizeImage(800,undefined,150)

Looks like it should work so I understand the mystery.

If there is no active document (one must be selected I believe) when the script is run, it will through an exception.

Alternately, it may be time to reset preferences. Sounds like something is messed up.

One issue I just noticed was that I didn't define the units.  However, even without a resize, the orignial script was hanging when trying to save.  It would not run the PS supplied Image Processor script either.  Will check it out again today.  We've changed a lot of the permissions on the computer, so maybe it will work now.  I've got another computer running the same script for a time-lapse camera setup, so I might just use that computer to do all the processing and this computer that is giving me issues just to capture the image and save it to a server.
