Adobe Photoshop crash...

[ez_stylin]

im pretty annoyed when photoshop crash on me, say 4 - 6 minutes of work time, or when im workin on some large images... i sone times loose my work and end up starting over again. the machine i have:

IntelP4
1.5Ghz
256 SDram
Win2000

i jus wanna know whats the work around on this. currently what i do is save evrytime i click the mouse once or twice so i have the latest in case it crashes again. also i know i can resolve this by getting more memory but at this time i dont have that enough money for that... (im still kinda financially independent). also i tried setting the proirity level in the Win Task Mngr. of the Photoshop to Above Normal but i cant seem to see the difference...

i jus wana know your opinions/suggestions when u have this kinda machine... :) many thanx!

hmm seems strange.. what version of photoshop you using?

...Have you allocated some another drive for your scratch disc? That may help the memory problem.

i should also mention that photoshop is known to crash every so often, depending on your system specs, so its normal to keep saving every so often.

thanx for d reply

[.soulty]

what version of photoshop you have, there might be updates to that version as well, may help you...

are you using any external plug-ins ?

[ez_stylin]

im using 7... and plug-ins... not much, but i often use different custom brushes

well if your working with large images i suggest getting more ram or a secondary HD so you can use as a scratch disk when working with large images for print, memory is a very important concern especially with any graphic programs i suggest getting at least 512 of ram because 256 aint really much
