I am a bit behind on my photoshop version Big Grin

But I am getting a small error when I start photoshop up.

Could not initialize photoshop because there is not enough memory (RAM)

Any help? Photoshop 6.0

Get more RAM...
Simple as that. Buy RAM cards, 4gb would be enough, I'd buy 8gb.
8gb RAM gets you chicks!
Unless you're a girl... than you get all the guys!
Unless you like girls... than back to chicks! Big Grin
Well, that didn't make sense, but erhm real hints:
Be sure about what Motherboard you have when buying RAM.
You must buy either DDR2 or DDR3, depending on what your motherboard supports (DDR3 is faster)
The other one simply makes your pc crash on the bootup.
If you have a laptop, you need special laptop RAM.
Please check your system properties.
My guess is you currently have 512mb to 2gb RAM, which in today's world is... next to nothing Big Grin

What version of Windows do you have? XP can only utilise 4gb of RAM, so bear that in mind if purchasing more.
