Everytime I open an image, I get the scratch disk is full error message. My problem is, I don't think I really understand what is going on. I have PLENTY of hard disk space, and Photoshop is the only app running. Can anyone help me???

Thanks, Brian

Hi bdumas... I dont know how much free space you have on your hard drive but if you think its "plenty" then maybe your files have errors due to heavy fragmantation.

you can try running the Check Disk to see if there are any errors.

click on Start -> Run and type cmd

then type chkdsk /F

you'll most likely get something like this
"The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)"

Type Y and hit enter and reboot your computer. the program will automtically scan and fix errors.

after that you might want to run the Disk Defragmenter. ( this might take a couple of hours depending on your drive speed and size.)

Lets see where you are after these steps

Here is what I would recommend

run ChkBrain

if it comes back NULL, don't worry about the scratch.
