I think due to in-sufficient Memory Room i.e. RAM [Random Access Memory] your should add sufficient Memory Bank in your PC.

You probably don't have enough RAM on your machine. Try upgrading your RAM.

Be sure the picture is easily accessable (My Documents or Pictures).\n\nFormat > Background > Fill Effects > Picture > Select Picture >\nOkay > Apply to All

photos are labor intensive for a computer and video even worse, so you just have to put up with it, be sure you delete things you dont need and then do a disk clean up and defrag often.

adobe Photoshop. THE BEST

most likely it is due to the memory usage... try increasing the virtual memory...

Do you know what is causing it to hang?  In other words, have you gone into task manager and seen the actual processes that are holding your machine hostage?  Also, this could be because you don't have adequate hardware to handle the software that you're running. There is a utility available which may help you.  It is called Process Explorer and is made by SysInternals.  Running this will show you what is causing your machine to hang.  It is freeware which means you can download it online free of charge.\n\nI hope that this helps.

Although if you install XP you may still get the same problem, as I do on a regular basis.  Wait for Vista :)

Downloading Photoshop without paying for it is illegal.  Instead use GIMP.  It's 100% free and full featured.

Hi Jeane,\n  In my site listed below under Computer Talk there is a section that you may want to read called Optimizing your systems performance.  There you can learn to do all kinds of things to remove files/programs, and speed up your system. For a great picture viewer, that allows you to do some neat stuff and is free, search for a program called irfanview.  This will allow you to see pics in a slide show, create thumbnails of them, resize and rotate, and a whole lot more.  Hope this helps.

Sometimes due to no fault of your own, upgrades and downloads just don't work.  I had a similar problem a few months ago with Adobe.  I went to my add/remove progams in the contol panel and deleted the Adobe Reader.  I went back to their web site and downloaded the latest and greatest.  No problems at all. Just make sure you uncheck the toolbar option and the photoshop starter edition (unless you really, REALLY want them.)\n\nhttp://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html\n\nplrr

I had that problem with Yahoo messenger when I had another program that uses the camera on also. If you have something like ActiveWebCam or perhaps a utility program from the manufacturer of the camera, that will cause the whole computer to lock up. A camera can only be used by one program at a time in my experience.

Make sure your virus protection is up to date, then scan for viruses. Install a spyware removal program and then remove all spyware. \n\nSometimes another program will make your computer freeze up, as they can conflict with other programs. Especially the ones downloaded from the Internet. Try removing any programs that you added around the time you noticed the "hang ups." After, use the hard disk clean up utility, and then defrag. restart your system and see if it continues.\n\nIf it continues, use the System Restore utility to roll it back to an earlier time when it did not freeze up, and then try it out. You may need to find a good restore point and that may take a couple of tries. It takes a few minutes to do, so do it when you get a chance.\n\nP.S. Your P3 should be fine. I have an old computer with a P2, true it's not near as fast as the P4, but it is fine if it works for you, I would not change it. I have found that most programs that say "must have P4" still run, but there are a few that will cause problems. And, note, one of the installed programs could be your problem, as I mentioned above.\n\nMy older computer uses Win2000, also.

This could be a case of a corrupted preference file, which could be retained on the computer even after un/reinstalling the program.\nTo delete the preference file, which will be automatically recreated after you start up Photoshop, hold down Control+Alt+Shift just after you click to start Photoshop. You will be asked if you want to delete the preference settings and just say yes.\nIf this doesn't fix the issue then you can delete the actual preference file. The instructions of this are at http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/312917.html\nThe file name will be Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Prefs.psp.

The description of your error means that Photoshop does not have enough RAM or physical memory to perform image editing.  You could try to decrease the image resolution of the files you are working on.  This will decrease the size of the files that you are working and in turn lessen the chance that this error would appear.  \n\nIf decreasing the resolution is not possible, you could increase the amount of physical memory (RAM) for your computer.  For a detailed explanation of this problem, please see this site:  \nhttp://experts.about.com/q/Adobe-Photoshop-1028/photoshop-4.htm?rd=1
