Although not strictly a Photoshop issue, I would be pleased to hear if there is a cure for the mysterious disappearance of the 3GB switch from my boot.ini file.
My installation of CS3 runs perfectly, but it is much happier with the /3GB switch added to the boot.ini file. However, I keep noticing that if Photoshop seems slow and I check how much RAM is available and being used, it has dropped down to a level that suggests that ‘only’ 2GB of RAM is available. If I then check boot.ini, the 3GB switch has disappeared (again)! So, if I add the switch (again!) and reboot, Photoshop will use the full 3GB of RAM in my PC.
So the question is Why does the switch keep disappearing? I open the boot.ini file with a right-click and Open, edit the file in Wordpad and save. Is that wrong?
