PHOTOSHOP 7 INSTALL PROBLEM

[williamDyrdahl]

WHEN I BOOT UP PS7 A MESSAGE APPEARS..."PHOTOSHOP'S PRIMARY SCRATCH AND WINDOWS PRIMARY PAGEING ARE ON THE SAME VOLUME...SET ADOBE PRIMARY SCRATCH VOLUME TO BE ON A DIFFERENT VOLUME.." AFTER THE MESSAGE IT AUTOMATICLY CLOSES OUT PS7...I HAVE UNINSTALLED AND INSTALLED...AND STILL THE SAME MESSAGE.... :eyeroll: WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM

That warning message is an informational message only. Photoshop uses a temporary file and hard disk space intensively. In extreme circumstances, users can benefit by telling photoshop to use a drive other than (usually) C: for it's scratch disk.

Under Edit|Preferences|Plug-Ins and Scratch Disks, you can set Photoshop to a different drive if you have one. If you do not have one, setting it to C:\ will prevent the message from displaying.

There is no problem running photoshop with C:\ as a scratch disk, so no worries.

The OTHER problem, PS closing, is usually solved by resetting your preferences. The procedure to do this is found in the FAQ - look for Deleting Preferences.

Peace,
