Photoshop and Scratch Volume ????

[Neil Knipe]

Hello

I just reccently upgraded to Windows XP but my Photoshop
6 will not work with it.

It installed fine but when I ran it for the first time a
message popped up saying something like "Photoshops
Scratch Volume is the same as Windows Scratch Volume. We
reccomend you change it as this might effect the
operation of Photoshop".

Well after that message, Photoshop will just not work.
Trying any option, such as opening a file, and failure
messages just pop up. So I gotta change this Scratch
Volume I guess, but I don't know what it is or how to
change it.

Can any of you wise folk out there help me? My email is
(e-mail address removed)

Thanks in advance

Neil

I had the same problem with Photoshop 6. Had to change the location of the
scratch file in Photoshop 6 preferences. I moved it to another partition and
this fixed my problem. I recently upgraded to Photoshop 7 and it did not
have the same problem. Hope this helps.

Cheers for the info but the problem is I can't get into
the preferences to change the location because if I try
and select anything from the menus it just says "could
not complete your request because of program error".

Can I do it some other way?

Sorry that didn't help. I had identical problem but was able to change
scratch file location via preferences. Did you consider uninstalling and
reinstalling photoshop.
