It’s a 6GB partition on an 18GB drive. I keep the rollout file on a different physical drive, and the only things I’ve intentionally installed on that boot part were W2K and the SysCommander boot manager. I’ve also deleted everything I can delete, and moved everything I can move — I freed up over 50MB and that still didn’t help…it gave me enough room to re-install, but re-installing didn’t make the problem go away.
I seem to almost remember that there’s some trick to fixing this problem with pshop…I think it happened to me once before, but I can’t recall the details (I can’t even be sure I’m recalling the right problem). If nobody can come up with an Aha! solution, then I’m sure I’ll have to spend a day or two stripping down the drive, repartitioning, and reinstalling every wretched piece of software I own. Why companies INSIST on consuming space on the boot drive even when their software is being installed elsewhere is an annoying mystery.

You really need more space free on the c: drive just for windows to run properly. Try to clear as much space as possible, start by deleting all your temporary files. How big is the hard drive anyway?

Every now and then, for some reason I’ve not been able to track down, Photoshop loses its mind. The symptoms vary in severity from simply losing history and settings, to the current nonsense where I can’t get it to start up because it claims the scratch disks are full. Since the disc with the smallest amount of space free has 98MB, this doesn’t seem a credible complaint.
I’ve tried re-installing, but to no avail. I’m currently using v7 under W2K.
Any suggestions *much* appreciated!

What is your Scratch space? 98 MB is not a whole lot. For a big file it’s not enough.
Sorry for not being more clear. It’s not a matter of not having enough space to save some large file — I can’t get the app to come up at all.
The disc with only 98MB is c:, the boot disc, but I have 68GB free on my working disc (i:).
