Photoshop "sratch disk" errors - GoFuckYourself.com

Anyone know what a sratch disk error is in Photoshop? I've already tried to reinstall it and it's still giving me the same errors.

I believe its because you havent allocated enough memory to the program or your hard drive is to full to handle the size of the files you are working on.

Try these two things:

1st go to

EDIT > PREFERENCES > PLUG INS AND SCRATCH DISKS

and make sure that your startup drive is listed as your first scratch disk, if you have other drives on your computer that are less full than your primary drive try listing them first and see if you get better results.

2nd Go to

EDIT > PREFERENCES > MEMORY AND IMAGE CACHE

And allocate more ram to the application.... restart PS and see if it helps.
