Bridge CS4 - low on memory error

Question

Hi - I am getting this error rather frequently after processing e.g. 50 RAW images in a batch. With plenty of RAM (4GB) on WIN XP Pro. Any hints will be much appreciated.

As I see it, the problem is somewhere in understanding of users rights
on disk where cache is located.
In my case the problem was because I didn't have enough rights on drive
where Cache was (wich is stupid since I'm the only user of my comp), so
Bridge couldn't write it's date on target disk).
I don't know for yours , but john-o-eid's problem could be conected with
the same issue. It  could  happen also in situations when  there are
more users and not everyone's rights were assured in phase of CS4
installation, since cache is located by default in folder of user that
installs it. In my case it was
C:\users\daregre\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Cache (in XP  instead
of C:\users..., C:\Documents and Settings...).
So either every user must set Cache for himself in his
C:\users\....\Cache directory, or ensure that everyone that uses
computer has WRITING rights on drive where Cache is. So:
1. check out if you've changed settings for cache location, (or someone
else did),
2. check everyone's rights on that drive (Control Panel>User Accounts,
perhaps also in disk sharing advanced options).
3. remove every possible restriction of rights for that drive on your
and other common user accounts (guest, everyone ...).
Good Luck!
