Disk Error Message in Photoshop 5.0 LE

Hello,

聽 I scanned an image at 1200 dpi (Windows reports the file size as 165 MB) and tried to open it in Photoshop and got this message:

Disk error 鈥?6 while reading or writing virtual memory file. Sorry, but this error is fatal.

I've tried changing the paging file size. I've set both my C drive and a partition (F) to 4096 MB.聽 I also went into ''Preferences/Plug-ins and Scratch Disks'' and set the Primary and Secondary to the drives mentioned above, and still get the same error message.

What am I doing wrong?聽 The only thing I can think of is that my computer is an older one (only a 500 mhz processor) but I don't think that should matter - then again I've never scanned at this high a resolution before either.....

Thanks!

I'm surprised PS even runs on that computer although of course 5.0 LE is pretty old.

A 165 MB file may just be too much for it.

How can you ''set your c drive to 4096MB''? Do you mean Paging file?

We need someone with a long memory to chime in, but you do need to clarify what you are doing.

Do you have enough hard drive space to write the temp files? It will take a lot more space than 165Mb.
