Ahaha.
It's important to keep your computer stable, and can run in multiple instances.

thanks :D

I have only about 5 processes running. Aim, Photoshop, FF, SVCHOST, and explorer.exe

Most proceeses are windows services, which most aren't needed.

i have about 20 SVCHOST

can i shut down all but the biggest?

Up to you.

It could be because he has it set to inches insted of pixels

yea it is possiable, because i have 4gigs of ram, and when i do inches, and i do say 500x500 my comp has trubbles loading

The other possibility is to do with the desktop, which is fixed to 48 meg RAM (I think its 48). If you get your apps closing for no apparent reason or failing to load, some weird errors about not being able to init dll's, etc then it will be because of the dekstop ram allocation.

Apparently there are three areas, one for users, one for the desktop and te other i've kinda forgotten. You can edit your registry to juggle the allocations.

Was the error you got from PS explicitly saying that you dont have enough memory to do whatever operation you were trying to do? can you post the exact text of the error message?

Also i would suggest dumping a list of the processes you have in memory and posting it here, then we can give you some advice. There are a tonne of services that are not windows, put there by software you have installed, which may not be necessary.

KingMe your a genious lol i had it set to inches which made the image size like 30,000 icnhes. Well its all good now guys thanks :)

Or you could just by a new pc. Mine only cost $400 and I run Cs2, Several MSN windows, AIM,Norton antivirus + I never have too close down anything. The only programs I DO have trouble running are most 3d editors, but I think thats my graphics card.
