Problems saving and initializing

Ive been using photoshop 7 for years. Ive recently changed my system drive and it works fine. I have a internal hard drive - 2TB - and it too is working fine. At first when photoshop was working it would not save files to same disk as the files i.e, on the new 2TB internal hard drive. It would however save the files to the C system drive where the programme was installed. When trying to save to the new drive the message -  "scratch disk full".. - would appear. I uninstalled the photoshop and reinstalled. Now the photoshop wont even initialise and I get message "cannot initialise as scratch disk full". Neither the system disk C or internal hard drive F are anywhere near full. In fact they are just about empty. I dont want to upgrade to a newer photoshop as i like 7 and im used to it. What can I do. im a novice at PC stuff...

Its windows XP.
I tried to install the photoshop on the f drive (the new 2TB internal hard
drive) as an experiment but nothing installed - as far as `i can see.
Uninstalled the Photoshop and re -installed couple of times now but still
get same messages.. I will try your suggestion re the photoshop preference
folder.
When the photoshop was working, but not saving to the F drive I did try
fiddling with the scratch drives thru' the preference that photoshop
offered. Cant now remember what i changed...
BUT If that changed anything how could the change persist after an
uninstall re-install?
Ive also changed the RAM on the pc. It was 1GB and now ive 4GB. The PC is
working fine and in fact better in all other areas. Could the RAM change
have made a difference?

  • Major problem saving and printing documents on two computers

    This is a bizarre problem that seems to have been transferred from my old MDD to my new Mini when I migrated all my old data and it has me baffled. My apologies if this explanation seems long and complicated but I want to be pretty thorough.
    About a month ago I started experiencing a problem with printing. I noticed when printing a sheet of business cards that the page was getting compressed, for lack of a better word, vertically. This was very noticeable because the trim marks on the side of the page were not lining up with the perforations and each row of cards was getting progressively closer to the top as each row was printed. In other words, the first row of cards was okay but then the next row was a little too far "north", the next row a little more, the next row a little more, etc. The bottom of the page was not cut off, it was just squeezed up a bit but not enough that you could tell that the proportions were off. Now I see that many of my documents are like that no matter what application I've use to create them – Pages, Illustrator, Avery DesignPro. What's even worse, I've used Pages to create a sheet of business cards for a friend and Illustrator to make packaging labels and she's having the same problem printing the PDFs of the labels on a different computer. What this seems to tell me is that something has been corrupted and the computer is saving messed up files.
    So, about ten days ago I got a Mini and migrated my data using Migration Assistant. And the problem has now been transferred to the Mini. So I now have two Macs connected to two different HP printers that are both incapable of printing (and apparently saving) documents in the proper proportions.
    Now, a truly weird thing is that I printed a test sheet of business cards from the Mini on the printer connected to the MDD (via printer sharing) and it appeared that the document printed at the correct length. However, another document, a sheet of labels created in Illustrator, printed at the right length but one edge was slightly cropped off. Grrr.
    Anyway, as I said, until about a month ago everything worked fine so something got messed up at that time to cause this problem with saving and printing documents. I need to get this resolved for business reasons – I'm an aspiring designer – but the only thing I can think of doing is wiping out my Mini and reloading everything except my account settings from Time Machine unless someone has advice on what to do. Help! (And yes, I've checked to see that page scaling was always set at 100%.)

    Well, I've just about had it. I erased the disk, reinstalled the OS, Adobe CS4, and iWork. I did not use Migration Assistant this time to restore my settings but still my Mac prints documents in the wrong dimensions. Could this be a sudden HP problem? It seems to me some system setting somewhere is making my computer save and print documents in the wrong size. I now have a computer that is almost useless for designing. Lucky me.

  • Problem saving and printing pdf files.

    Operating System Windows 7.  Adobe Reader Version XI. Online and local files. Browser XI. Adobe sends ERROR message on ALL pdf files.  Adobe seems to recognize all pdf files as "coded incorrectly," and sent by email, when the majority haven't been sent by email.  It will not save the pdf as a pdf, but saves it as "All Files," instead.

    How are you downloading these files?  Also, what exactly means "an error message"?

  • Upon startup Firefox says "Proxy is refusing connections." When I select "Auto-Detect Proxy" from Advanced settings and solve problem, changes are not saved and upon next startup I must select again...!

    Firefox 4 was working fine. Then one day, when I started up Firefox, it says "Proxy is refusing connections." I solved this by selecting "Auto-Detect Proxy" from Advanced network settings, but my changes are not saved and upon every start-up I must select it again! (I even completely removed my webroot antivirus protection, as it as hindering many proxy related programs, but this seems to not be the source of the problem)

    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

  • Problems with saving and versions

    i know you're all preparing popcorn for the iPhone release, but maybe one or two have got a minute to read this and help me
    i'm using lion for a while, and ever since i'm losing files.
    my problem is not the system, maybe i just didn't get how to use it, but i'm blaming having lost my files. :/
    so, there's versions, and autosave. but simetimes i dran 'n drop a file i'm working on trom my taskbar (the little icon next to the filename) to my desktop. sometimes, but not always, it's corrupted. i don't always notice right away, so when i close the document (without saving of course) it's just a file icon, but there is no possible way to open it without getting a message.
    i don't know if i'm not using it right, but "they" say you don't have to save your files, they say your files are saving versions, but so many times i can't go back to a version.
    also i'm using a lot of photoshop, and just now something happened, and not for the first time:
    i opened up a .psd that i was working on yesterday. when i wanted to save it (with crtl-S), it said "Could not save *documentname*.psd because the file is already in use or was left open."
    of course the file is in use and open. how does the mufassa expect me to save a file without opening it up? and why would i save a file without using it before? this is not the first time, and i always have to save it using a different name, and then delete the old file...
    i might have a thinking problem, but maybe you can still help me out?
    can someone update me on how to optimize my workflow, so i can spend more time working, and less time looking for files or restarting documents?
    thx and peace,
    Marc

    Hi there
    I'm a bit perplexed and more than a bit concerned with something you said:
    mheilZP wrote:
    The other person I worked with had no problems accessing and saving new versions of the file, but for some reason it fouled up on me. I've never had this happen before and was wondering why it happened and what I should do to avoid it happening again.
    This seems to infer that you are sharing the same project with another person? If I'm correct in my understanding, there are two major things wrong here.
    1. You cannot share a project in a fashion where two or more users make edits to it at the same time. Doing so is an open invitation to disaster.
    2. In order for two or more users to have access to the same Captivate project, it would have to exist on a network drive. Editing projects while they are stored on a network resource is another open invitation to disaster.
    The bottom line here is that Captivate files must be edited from the local C drive by a single author. You may copy them to a network location for the purposes of backing them up, but that's it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Problem in Multisim with transient analysis and initial conditions

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem in multisim with transient analysis and initial conditions.
    If I do transient analysis with automatically determined initial conditions the circuits works.
    If I do transient analysis with user-defined initial conditions the circuits works in cases.
    --Working with user-defined---

    Namely, if I combine the resistor and my custom component in one circuit, transient analysis with user defined initial conditions gives an error (timestep too small).

    Hey louiseg45826294,
    Thank you for posting on Adobe forums.
    Could you please let me know what Adobe Writer program you are talking about. Is it Adobe Acrobat or Reader?
    Could you please share the screenshot of the exact error message that appears.
    Are the PDF forms saved on your computer's local drive?
    Hope to hear from you.

  • Problems opening and saving PNG over network with CS2 and CS3

    using os10.4.11
    photoshop CS2 or CS3
    I've recently tried to save images in PNG format,  small (no more than a couple hundred kilobytes) and found that whenever I tried to save to the server it would hang photoshop and require a force-quit. Saving the same file to the desktop works fine. Copying said file to the network and then trying to open that PNG from the server results in a photoshop hang, while opening that same file from the desktop works fine. I know all about the fact that Adobe doesn't support working over a server, but that's never been an issue at my workplace in all the years I've worked with (never had problems saving/opening any format, no corrupted files ever). If I try to open that same PNG from the server with CS2, same result. If I try to open it over the server using Photoshop CS, or version 7, however, it opens just fine. If I copy the Photoshop CS version of the PNG plugin and replace the PNG plugin installed with CS3 by default, then it seems to work and I can now open and save PNGs anywhere with no problems. Has anyone else had this problem? I can see that the file size of the PNG plugin has changed version to version, so something about it has changed. It seems as though there is something defective about the ones installed with CS2/3, and just copying the CS version into my CS3 folder clears up the problem.
    Also, the problem is not limited to my computer. Other macs that try to open PNG files from the server using CS3 or 2 also hang.

    Yes, we're a prepress company moving around probably a few dozen gb of data per day, saving PSD, TIFF, EPS, JPEG, all kinds of formats. It's the first time I've had a client requesting PNG files, and so the issue has come to light. This is the first time I've ever seen any kind of issue opening/saving across our network in 8 years. (the only time I've ever seen a corrupt file was a 1.6gb image that didn't copy correctly, and that wasn't a photoshop-related corruption, but an OS drag/copy of the file)
    I'm not sure if I'll be able to find someone with OS 10.5 or some other version to see if they cause problems. If anyone else reading this who works over a network can test a PNG open/save over their network and list their OS and Photoshop version it may help. I'm going to see if I can find some other computers to try it out on in the meantime and mention it to IT.

  • When I send open office documents to a PC user (even saved and sent in the word format), the document reaches with serious format changes and is rendered unusable to the PC user. How to overcome the problem??

    When I send open office documents to a PC user (even saved and sent in the word format), the document reaches with serious format changes and is rendered unusable to the PC user. How to overcome the problem??

    I don't use OpenOffice (I have it on my internal just to play around with, but seldom even open it). I do use MS Word and have few problems sharing files - it's usually a font issue so I tend to use MS fonts for documents that I know will need to be shared.
    Unless you need to make collaborative changed to the document, you could always save it as a pdf file. With Acrobat Pro you can even save a pdf file to a Word document with very little change in formatting.
    If I were you - and you have a need for .doc or .docx files to travel and play nicely - I'd just invest in MS Office. If you don't have to send a Word file, try pdf.

  • I have my catalog "Back Up Each Time Lightroom Exits" checked, and always have. That means the catalog should have been backed-up and saved everyday, if not more than once on some dates. So with a a major problem now and needing to use the Catalog backup

    I have my catalog "Back Up Each Time Lightroom Exits" checked, and always have. That means the catalog should have been backed-up and saved everyday, if not more than once on some dates. So with a a major problem now and needing to use the Catalog backup from last Friday, I go to my Lightroom Backups folder - and the most recent one showing not only isn't yesterday, it's OCTOBER 28 !?? Where the hell are the daily backups between October 28 and November 14?

    Oh wow - JET LAG strikes agin - my apologies; I have located the missing weeks of back-ups. After getting home from a 30-day trip to Europe, I had changed the location of my LR catalog back-ups to an external drive, and forgot that I did that. I have found them, and all is good. Never operate Heavy Machinery without enough rest. Cheers

    I transferred my data from icloud onto my new ipad and one of my games didn't back up as i saved it initially. I have to start all over is this normal

    You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone.  If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so.  Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
    In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

  • Crosair TWINX1024 XMS DDR400 PC3200 and Initializing Keyboard Controller Problem

    If you have the Crosair TWINX1024 XMS memory modules and the D-Bracket reports an LED error with Initializing the Keyboard Controller,  it is most likely due to having to manually set the memory latency settings in the bios and not the keyboard controller. Once you switch to 2-3-3-6 the system should run stable.
    All along I tried different keyboards and RMA'd one board, but the keyboard was not the problem as I am still using the original keyboard. If anyone else experiences this problem and has Crosair ram I suggest you unplug the PSU switch it to off position and reset the CMOS with the jumper. You must wait a while to boot, but once booted you must set the memory settings manually again for the system to work properly. Good luck to anyone having this problem and hopefully this helps out.

  • Tiger Server Panther Clients Word v.X problem saving autorecovery

    Dear All, We were running 10.3.9 server and clients untill this weekend when I updated to 10.4.3, now amungst the other problems we had that I fixed is one I cannot fix. Word keeps running into problems saving it's autorecovery information when using either 10.3.9 clients or 10.4.3 clients. We use remote home directories, bu they spend most of their time in our general "Shared" file. The exact wording of the first window is "Word cannot complete the operation because too many files are open." Then in parenthases(sp) is the name of the temp file (something like Word Work File A_2). Then the second window is "Saving AutoRecovery File is postponed for (and the file name). Any help would be apreciated.

    Hi all, I've been suffering from the same issue and finally found something that works for me with Word v.X. (Server 10.4.4 (8G32)) YMMV.
    Creating the .TemporaryItems didn't help, although it's being used by something, so maybe it's helping with some other issue.
    Deleting Work preferences working, but only for the initial launch. Second time did not work.
    Isolated the problem to the "Office Registration Cache X" file. With it deleted, Word launched each time. After some experimenting, I found that replacing it with a locked document file (in particular a .wpd file - maybe because the app isn't on the computer) of the same name kept it from creating a new file and Word will now open each time.
    If any one want's to experiment to find out why that file is causing the problem (assuming the fix works for you), I'd be grateful. Otherwise I will be putting the replacement file in each users account (User/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Registration Cache X). (Well each user that has the problem in the first place. As noted in other posts it's not a problem for everyone.)

    please give some better advice for the excise invoice setting.

    Sub Transaction type determines the subcontracting attributes and determines the accounts for the posting while doing a sub contracting transaction.
    Sub transaction type is also used for determining the accounts while
    doing excise removals.
    Within CIN the account determination is based on the transaction type.
    So normally you can have a single set of accounts for Excise
    utilization. In case you need alternate account determination for
    handling various scenarios you can define sub transaction types. The
    sub transaction types and corresponding account assignments needs to be
    maintained in CIN customization
    To make customization of Sub Transaction type, goto
    <b>SPRO --> Logistics General --> Tax on Goods Movements --> India --> Account Determination and check whether you have assigned second and third one, viz. "Specify Excise Accounts per Excise Transaction and Specify GL Accounts per Excise Transaction".</b>
    Check
