I need this repaired ASAP. I must do some editing for a client and I am now in trouble if I don't get this fixed ASAP.

I just don't get this! I had 512megs of memory and occassionally had out of memory issues in photoshop.

So I spent $100+ to get 1 GIG more and now with a total 1.46GIG's of RAM installed and I STILL get the famous error

"Could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (RAM)"

In fact, I am getting MORE out of memory errors in photoshop with 2X more RAM than I started with..

I originaly had the default 50% ram given to adobe.. and then tried 75% and still get the errors 90% of the time.

I checked windowsXP Task Manager Processes and indicates that photoshop is using no more than approx 300-400megs of ram with approx 1010megs being given to photoshop, YET according to Processes, photoshop.exe is only using between 41MEGS - 400megs.. Processes claims a Commit Charge of "2244M/2688M"

HELP!?!?! Adobe recommends 384Megs of ram.. If that is the case, HOW can I be running out of memory if I have 1.4 GIGS?

Cache is set to 1.. I've tried up to 9..

The computer:

CPU: Pentium 3.0 GHz
RAM: 1.46GIGs

The obvious question is does the "new" ram work, it's all too easy to get a bad one, the second question is are you sure it's ram it's refering too not hard drive space? are you using a 2 drive system or by any chance a drive thats partioned?
Go into edit/preferences/memory and cache have a look how much is allocated, try setting the cache to a lower number, also make sure your not set to 100% memory useage.
If that doesn't help you could try resetting preferences (hold down CTRL+SHIFT+ALT as soon as PS starts to load, this fixes a supprising number of odd problems. Wayne
