All of a sudden I receive a "Not enough ram to available to start PS 7". I have Win XP home, p4, 1 gig ram, 2 HD's. HD 1,80 gig, 30 gig free, has all programs on it, HD2,80 gig, is for video capture.
Should I reinstall PS on the second hard drive? Will this free up ram and make my office a "Hair pulling free enviroment"?
Thanks
PS I did as many searches as I could to find the answer here, and in google.
I just found some answers here" <

30 gig should be more than enough free disk space!
Have you tried deleting the prefs file?
#2
No, how do I do that?
Thanks

Details in the FAQ at the top of this forum's Topic List....
#4
also see if you're starving your os with it's swap file. do you have it set to a specific size or are you letting windows handle it?
#5
God questions. I will have to investigate. I ended up uninstalling PS7 and all of the plugins I have accumulated. I will do a new install and see if this clears up my problem and will post results here.
Thanks

I reinstalled PS7, updated, but still have the samer RAM error. I have tried everything that was suggested in the FAQ, but no good. Everything loads up, until I get to "Sorting Font Lists", then I get the ram error. I need help, will someone please provide a solution.
Thanks

EDIT POST--- I have 512 DDR RAM, not 1g, sorry.

reinstalling doesn't delete the prefs. try that first:
Mathias Vejerslev "How to delete/reset Photoshop preferences" 2/11/03 12:04pm </cgi-bin/webx?50>
but since you mention it hangs on or after sorting the fonts, you may have a bad (corrupt) font on your system. if resetting prefs doesn't work try:

Fantastic. It worked. I beleive it was the fonts. Thank you very much. I haven't slept in 24 hours trying to figure this out.
THANK YOU>
