Ok, I have now greate problems with photoshop 6.0. I'm currenly working on a pic, 1400x3000. Anyway, when I'm going to fill a area with colour, photoshop stop working, and I have to restart my computer. The latest change has been that I installed another screen card today, and hoocked up my other screen.

Do someone know the reason for this.....and most of all, how to solve it?

Quite simply, you don't have enough RAM, or your computer is too slow to handle something that big.

I had to work on something that size a while back, and DAMN did it ever take forever to do anything. It was a 8.5X11 sized piece at 300 dpi. Christ.

Uh...find a friend with a fast comp and do it on his, or size that thing down.

Thanx for the reply Gndalf, but I don't think that was the problem. I have a PIII computer with 700 mhz and 128 ram, as well as a gforce2 32mb 3d card. Anyway, I formated my computer, and now everything works fine!

Oh..uh...
/me vainly attempts to not look stupid

Reformat your computer! It is most obviously in need of it!

Have you checked how much ram is assigned to phtshp?
File/Preferences/Memory & image cache.
Could be it.

Heard that photoshop 6 takes up a lot more ram than 5.5 - dunno.

Dr.ZuLu: Thanx for your reply. I always have 8 cache levels and 80% out of 113818k while working in photoshop. Everything works fine now. Just have to formate. I guess it was time for it now. Gonna buy a new harddrive for my scratch files. I have a recovery cd, so I couldn't make a new partisiption when I formated the other day....
