It is telling you your page file is not big enough, have you disabled it or set it manualy, if so try making it larger or set it on Auto

 

[Devil Jin]

Its set to Auto Mr Grim..

 

[Mark]

How much has it got allocated, try increasing it and see if that helps.

 

[Devil Jin]

Its not letting me change anything when ever I try to change it; it stops responding..

Btwn Currently Acllocate is 3621MB

Seems like there is a more serious issue then and maybe you don't have a pagefile. that would explain the error you are getting on photoshop.

Can you fill in your system specs through the link on your post down the bottom where it says My System Specs, that way we can help diagnose the problem better. Also have you installed all your MB chipset drivers and updated all your drivers?

Sys Specs Updated..

I already went through the thread you mention my problem is different than that..

Well day before yesterday when I used photoshop it was fine, yesterday I reformated my PC and used the vista sidebar so even if my UAC is off I can use gagets and today when I installed Photoshop Iam getting this error. Another thig is Iam not eve able to close it using end task, have to reset my PC since its not allowing me to restart or shut down my PC one I open the virtual memony TAB in advance control..

Have you used any hacks to remove watermarks or send feedback, I ask because it has caused lots of problems for anyone who uses them, regardless you should try a system restore to take it back to the time you installed photoshop or just after if you have the option.

 

[Devil Jin]

Hmm I did use orbit to remove waterwark and sendfeed back but I used it before also and didn`t face any problem photoshop was running before

 

[Mark]

Restore it to the time before you hacked it and I think that will solve your problems, the ORBIT hack you speak of is the main one causing so many problems.

 

[Devil Jin]

Hmm thats kind of hard because I use Tune Up Utilities to remove all backup and unused files..

 

[Mark]

I think in that case you will need to reinstall the OS, I am getting use to it now, I think I have reinstalled Windows 7 about a dozen times now LOL

 

[Devil Jin]

I just uninstalled photoshop and its allowing me to change it without hanging the system...

So now what do u advice Mr Grim..

 

[Mark]

I would say a clean install is still the way to go, although it's a strange issue with the page file being disable only when Photoshop is installed unless their is some sort of conflict with photoshop but even then you said it worked when you first installed, I think the only way you are going to know for sure is to do a fresh install.

 

[Devil Jin]

Oh Man I really hate to re install the OS even though it only take 20 min to install...

Well will try to re install photoshop again and see if theres a problem if yes then will re install OS..

Thanks Mr Grim...
You are really helpful .. Hope I can be of some help to you one day...

Hey Devil Jin...

Could you try assigning a drive letter to your hidden partition under disk management, and re-install Photoshop and let us know of what happens?

In Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management you will find a hidden partition of about 200 MB, or any size... Right Click it, Change drive letters and paths -> Add -> Select a drive letter.

Uninstall and re-install photoshop and let us know if you get the same error.

 

[Devil Jin]

Hi Mr Grim,

Re installed the OS and tried to use photoshop again it was giving me the same error..
Then Re-installed and checked to change the Page File Memory without installing Photoshop but the system still hangs and does not allow me to restart or shut down says Problem with interacting windows..

Have reported it to MS..

Hi Devil Jin, sorry to hear about that, I thought we were on the right track, i don't think you mentioned about drivers for your motherboard, did you manage to install all of them?
