Out of Memory!
in [Photoshop Elements]
|
Next: Panorama in PE 6
From: MaxB on 20 Feb 2007 15:18 I am running PSe 3 and use a Mustek Bearpaw 4800 scanner. Both work fine alone and, until recently, Photoshop could happily acquire scans from the scanner. Now, as soon as I click on "preview", the scanner starts and then the PS screen flashes up "out of memory". It looks like something is clashing: can anyone suggest what it might be, or where I should look, or even better how to overcome the problem? I use XP Pro with 1.5Gb RAM so I don't think that the message really means what it says! Thanks. MaxB

Insufficient Memory " . I don't have the answer to your question. But I would ask: How much disk space is free on the hard drive you boot from? The memory referred to in the error could be virtual memory, as opposed to RAM.

Thanks for the thought but I have a 160Mb disk about 20% full, plus 1.5Gb Ram etc. I think the problem may lie in some sort of USB conflict but not sure what! I can use the scanner fine on its own, but my thought was that it is competing for the same space when I have loaded PSe.

I had a similar problem after moving up to 2GB RAM.. Try going to my computer/properties/advanced/performance/settings/advanced and set your virtual memory to as high as it will go. Its based on the installed RAM. In my case I doubled it since I doubled the RAM, and I stopped getting those error messages in programs like PSE, Roxio etc etc..mine is 3072MB Worth a shot Bill > |
