I’m new to Photoshop Elements and this is my first post.

I was working on some pictures my daughter took at church camp and everything was going fine until I tried to crop a picture and received the message "Could not complete your request because the scratch disks are full". After reading the Help files on Scratch Disks, I decided I needed to change the "First" Scratch Disk from "Startup" to "E" drive since the E drive has lots of room. But when I did this, the next time I tried to crop the photo the program hung up. I changed everything back to the way it originally was, but I’m still getting the error message. My C drive has about 2.3gb available, I have 512 Ram, and my E drive is wide open. How should I configure the Scratch Disks so I don’t have this problem?

Thanks,

Haze

Did you close and reopen Elements after setting primary scratch to E: ?

Did you also try primary to startup and secondary to E: ?

Yes, I did close and reopen after each setting change. I just tried setting it up with First as Startup and Second as E and that fixed it. Thanks a million Mac!

Well, glad that worked, although it should have worked the other way, too.
Oh well, whatever works, eh?
