Photoshop cs2 running at 99% CPU?

Question

I was in the middle of a project in photoshop cs2 and stupidly didn't save it. Before I knew it the CPU Usage on my PC went to 100%. I went to my task manager and saw that the photoshop.exe process had CPU of 99.

If I can help it, I really don't want to lose my work, so is there anyway I can reduce CPU and unfreeze photoshop without quitting it?

No, unfortunately, your computer is WAAAAAAAAAY to slow to run Photoshop, you will either need to upgrade your RAM, or if you have enough in RAM, you may need a new processor.
