Hi

I have a 80 GB HD with 3 partition, and free space is at least more than

half of the each partition. 512 MB of RAM. Windows XP Pro.

Everytime I open up PS CS, it just show a message about scratch disk is

full, and primary page thing.

and i had found a solution here

it seems not work for me, after I did what it says and restart my PS

still has that error message………….

Thanks for helping

I recently had the same error message.
I tried the Adobe recommendations and they didn’t work.
When I increased the size of the Windows swapfile then the error message disappeared.

You could try trashing your prefs. Details are in the FAQs.

so 80/3 = 26 gig ea. /2 = about 13 gig each. you COULD be running low. 13 gig can fill up quickly with a large complicated file.

James,

That support doc has nothing to do with scratch disk full errors. It addresses the Advisory Warning that appears when your pagefile and primary scratch drive are on the same drive and that is all.

Try deleting your prefs file as a first step in diagnosing the problem.

and you don’t need to get into photoshop to delete the prefrences…

here’s a link to the FAQ:
