Hi
I installed Photoshop CS6 64-bit on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.
When it starts, these two messages are displayed:
Unable to open a virtual memory file because the file is locked. You do not have permission or the file is being used by another program. ...
Unable to initialize Photoshop because the file is locked. You do not have permission or the file is being used by another program. ...
How come?
Thanks
Bye

Eys, welcome to the forums
Virtual memory is a 'file' that's made by Windows and other OS when you run out of physical RAM memory. It might be you had too much running at the time and ran out of physical RAM and had no Virtual memory to back it up.
Several things that might help you are:
- Running the Install as admin
- Running nothing but the installer
If that still doesn't work you can manage - enable, disable, resize - your virtual memory.
This is neatly explained over here:

In other words, I have installed Photoshop CS6 64-bit (using the default directory) on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit.
My computer has 4 GB of RAM and a virtual memory file of 6644 MB.
When it starts, the two above messages are displayed also with an account of Administrator type?
How come?
Thanks
Bye
