Scratch Disk Full?

[kelvintwt]

Got a power failure when editing pictures in Photoshop CS. A messege appears when i tries to open Photoshop "Could not initialize Photoshop because the scratch disks are full" Anyone got any idea what to do now?

You can't get all kinds of odd errors if the Photoshop preferences file gets corrupt (as in a power failiure).

1. Exit Photoshop.

2. Go to: Documents and Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\8.0\Adobe Photoshop CS Settings

3. Delete the Prefs.psp file.

4. Open Photosop and the application will create a new (default) one.

Worth a try.

hmm? cant find the Prefs.psp file

Kelvin what OS are you using and which version of Photoshop?

If you are using Windows 2000 or newer you will find the Prefs.psp file where Risto stated. The file name will be longer the Prefs.psp will be the last part of the name.

If you have Photoshop 7 the full filename will be Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Prefs.psp.

If you have Photoshop CS or newer it will be Adobo Photoshop CS (or CS2 or CS3) Prefs.psp.


If you are using a Mac then you may need to do a google search to find how to reset the preferences when you cannot start the program.
