Could not initialize Photoshop because there is not enough memory (RAM).

[brent bertram]

You'll probably need to check your hard drives for sufficient de-fragged space ( contiguous ) for the Windows Swap file and the Photoshop scratch disk. Figure 1 GB for the Windows Swap file, and perhaps 4 GB for the Photoshop Scratch disk. Preferably these will be on seperate drives, but they can co-exist .

Suddenly I have this error when starting Photoshop 7 on WinXP pro, AMD 1200, 512mb ddr. I allready tried to reinstall, same message. Any help would be appreciated.

Try trashing the prefs file - Hold down CTRL+ALT+SHIFT whilst PS is
starting. When asked if you want to delete respond in the affirmative.

[kojac29]

Thnx, but both suggestions don't work. :(

I also tried switching Virtual Memory to automatic and to manual..

I have 2 drives x 80 gb, so enough space is available..

Is there another way to delete or alter the preference file?
Allmost looks like I have to format and reinstall WinXP and all software :(

[kojac29]

Fixed it! I searched for *.psp (hidden) and deleted C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\7.0\Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Settings.psp

Totally worked great. Be sure to hold them down prior to clicking the PS icon to start with.

Doesn't work from me, could probably be the newer updates though. :/
