Beth: I remember reading somewhere that Photoshop had it's own virtual memory system and changing the memory partition was actually detrimental.
Try resetting it closer to the recommended size and see what happens. The only other thing I can think of is the state of the scratch disk. Is there enough blank space to hold a file three times larger than the one on which you are working? rob Beth Ernst wrote: > Hello great Mac gurus, > > Another problem and this one may bring back some fond memories of days and > systems past. > > I have a user on OS 8.1 running Photoshop 5.5.
