Photoshop :: Adobe PhotoDeluxe 4.0 / XP SP3 - Not Enough RAM Memory
Mar 21, 2013
When trying to open Adobe PhotoDeluxe 4.0 Friday, a window opened saying there was not enough RAM memory. Earlier in the week I had upgraded to 1,5 gigs of RAM.
I am 71 and have used Adobe PhotoDeluxe for a dozen plus years. Never any problems when I was using Windows 95, 98, or XP with far less RAM.
I've been told by a computer service tech that the installation of Windows XP Service Pack 3 caused this to occur. I've downloaded the Adobe update 4.0.1 for this program.
I have the program and when I try to make GIF's, it will sometimes give me an error saying "not enough memory to complete the operation". The folder I have contains 50MB of .jpg, yet I can't make a GIF because I don't have enough memory?
AMD Athlon X2 4400+ gigabyte ga-ma78gm-s2h 4*1GB DDR2-800 Vista Business 32-bit
Photo Deluxe Home Edition 4.0 - This program will no longer boot up on my computer. Worked fine until I connected my PC to the internet. Occasionally I get a message about launching 16 bit plugins.
After years of uploading photos with a memory card reader, Adobe suddenly stopped recognizing ithe reader and I can't upload anything. I bought a new reader and got the same results.Â
I have just installed Illustrator 9.0, running on Windows 7. The install was fine but when I try to launch the program I receive the following 2 errors:
1) "Pencil or smooth tool out of memory. Try editing at a smaller zoom magnification".I click OK because that's the only option. The next error window occurs with:
2) "The filter cannot complete because of an unknown error" Error: IMEM.I click ok again because that's the only option.
II had 512megs of memory and occassionally had out of memory issues in photoshop.
So I spent $100+ to get 1 GIG more and now with a total 1.46GIG's of RAM installed and I STILL get the famous error
"Could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (RAM)"
In fact, I am getting MORE out of memory errors in photoshop with 2X more RAM than I started with..
I originaly had the default 50% ram given to adobe.. and then tried 75% and still get the errors 90% of the time.
I checked windowsXP Task Manager Processes and indicates that photoshop is using no more than approx 300-400megs of ram with approx 1010megs being given to photoshop, YET according to Processes, photoshop.exe is only using between 41MEGS - 400megs.. Processes claims a Commit Charge of "2244M/2688M"
Adobe recommends 384Megs of ram.. If that is the case, HOW can I be running out of memory if I have 1.4 GIGS?
I am using corel x3 a long time but never, never had this kind of problem. When i work in corel enviorenment after i have finished my work i go to save my work. But then is the problem It Saves the file with Large Memory on it. let's say if the file normally would be 200 K, now it saves with 3 MB. And if i import some other files in my work then the saved file will be even bigger. If i Delete the files that were imported The Saved File will be Again the same SIZE ! Even if a take one part of the file, let's say if i import only one small text and put it in another file and save it like that, the saved file will be 2 MB. I had a lots of problems, i had saved files on this way with 23-24 MB and when i open them it takes like forever. When you look that file in corel it has nohing in it, absolutely nothing that should be 24 MB. But all of my important work is in that files how to make all things back to normal again,
I do have problem with my newly installed CorelDraw X5. Before X5 we used Corel 12 in our company.
I have project file (150 MB) with lots of text, bitmaps, vectors - about 100 pages. File opens but I can't save it. I always get OUT OF MEMORY error. I even tried to divide this file into 2 smaller parts but still doesn't work.
What I noticed - Corel X5 after clean start (without opened project) takes about 80MB of RAM in task manager. When I open project usage changes from 80MB to 1,2GB. While saving it takes 1,6GB of RAM and it crashes.
To compare - Corel 12 and after opening same project file Corel 12 takes much less of memory - about 770MB and it works without problem.Â
when I try to open an existing file or create a new one -- the application will shut down unexpectedly and without warning.But I also experience application errors: 'Instruction at "0x1a3c4b6b" referenced at memory "0x00000028" Memory could not be read.
I had Photoshop CS6 installed and working on my Mac using Adobe Creative Cloud. However now a dialog appears that says "Help Improve Adobe's Product". Regardless if I approve this dialog or not Adobe Photoshop starts up with every menu option grayed and I can do nothing. I have to force quit the application. At this point it is 100% unusable.  I've googled it and seen others with a similar issue but no solutions found. I have OSX 10.8.3.  Others with similar issues. URL....No real solution other than don't use Mac Keeper (which I do not) URL....
Product: CS4 64 bit: Adobe Output Module-Adobe updater downloads 2 updates 75.9mb (Camera Raw 5.3). After download and permission to continue under user account control, I receive popup menu advising me that Installation Incomplete, close Adobe Bridge - 3 choices, which always fail. My Adobe CS4 and Bridge are not open. I tried this several times with the same result.I downloaded the zip file, saved, unzip, and still get the same notice - close Bridge.
It looks like the same 2.3mb file that the update program is trying to download. Once the update is started it just keeps trying to download that file until I cancel the update.
I'd like to ask you what it is different between the ImageReady CS2 and Adobe Photoshop CS2, I am very confuse about them, they looks not different for me.
If i want to chose one of them for design webesite, which one is better?
Just upgraded to 32gigs vs the 16 I had and it's working, tested with system reporting programs, etc. And They all show the 32gigs of memory. Went into PS to preferences to change memory usage by PS and it still only shows 14769 of available memory. Â Do I need to reinstall PS or what to get it to see the new memory total? Â This is on Win 7 64, PS 64
I have an HP Pavilion 730. I have purchased the upgrade to CS4 and it has been working for a while. Now all of a sudden, when I open the program, the computer goes "boink" and a message comes up that says:
The instruction at "Ox77e78804" referenced memory at "0x0at1a1470". The memory could not be written. Click OK to terminate or click cancel to debug program. No matter which one I do, it shuts down CS4 totally?
I have been working on a large group of DNG's and I'm noticing that as I proceed through the edits my computer memory seems to be 'not releasing'. Example: Select photo, process it in RAW, open it in Photoshop CS3, edit, save and CLOSE the image. My computer memory does not seem to be refreshed when I close the image and eventually, after several images, I have to close the application to retrieve the memory. I am running on a PC Vista with 3 gig of memory (max my operating system will work with).
I made a javascript which has to convert and edit 18000 PDF's (pages) to arround 103.000 small images. I use ExtendScript Toolkit 2 to load a small file with all the file locations. Then each file will be opened and edited (one by one). This works fine and there are no real peaks in memory usage.
I let photoshop use arround 1500MB from the 1600 available RAM (Preferences -> Performance). I've never seen the whole system use more then 1200MB (2000MB available).
Despite that there is enough memory, the script stops working with the text "General photoshop error occurred ... this functionality because there is not enough memory (RAM)" in the status bar from ExtendScript. When I restart the script, it will continue where it stopped and the next file will be converted without a problem.
The PDF file is not the problem and memory usage in general is not a problem.

I've got a Core2Duo Dell with 4GB of RAM running 32 bit XP Pro. My copy of CS3 sees about half of that RAM. I understand there is a "switch" in XP's Boot.ini that allows PS to read more then the 2GB.
I've read the above MS page & I can't figure out what to do.
When I try to save any of my work in photoshop as a jpeg (not large files-even only 5Mb size ones) it comes up with an error message saying not enough Ram to save. IM using windows xp, I have 2.5Gigs of ram, 100Gigs free space on C drive and 100gigs free space on my other drive (J:). I have checked the scratch disk prefernce and allocated 65% of ram to memory. I have also made my J: drive the number one scratch disk and C:drive as number 2. I have defragged my computer, and made sure no other programs ar running at the same time when im using photoshop. i have checked for viruses and spyware...and it still wont save....
thinking about the following purchase windows vista home premium 64intel 2 duo e7500 [2.93ghz, 3mb l2, 1066mhz fsb]8gb ddr3-1066mhz sdram [4 dimms]512mb ati radeon hd 4350640gb 7200 rpm,sata 3gbs currently have samsun syncmaster 220wm and considering hp w2558hc monitor will this suffice for smooth operation of photoshop cs4
when I attempt to use a tool or an adjustment layer, i get a message that the operation can not be performed due to an out of memory condition. this only occurs after i have been processing for an hour or so. when i restart Photoshop (CS3), the problem goes away...for a while. I have 1.1 gigs (70% of total RAM) given to CS3.
I've installed PS CS a week ago and began to use it with stuff from my new Panasonic FZ20 camera. Tried with .tif and .jpg pictures.
The problem: no matter which kind or size(!) (from 500k to 10M) of pictures I'm trying to open, it takes it a very long time: opening about 30-40sec, saving about 2 minutes. At the time the picture is being saved, the PC just "freezes". I'f I'm waiting, everything returns to normal, but if I'm clicking Alt-Ctrl-Del, PS stops and I have to open it again.
I'm using a relative powerful machine, P4 3.2, Asus Mobo and Asus 9200 video card, 1G Mem, 300G HDs (defrgmented...) XP SP2 and so on...
Maybe there is any setup I'm missing at PS ...
At least, I can focus on the REAL Problem :
1. Ctrl-alt-del --> Processes
2. Turning on PS. --> It takes about 40M mem.
3. Opening a new file, about 35 x 25 inches and begining to scribble. --> the memory it uses begins to "grow" up to 240M and then the proggie stops responding. CPU at 50%.
4. Leaving it for about 5 min. and returning, it works (still using about 240M memory...) but it freezes every several seconds. The memoy is freed only by turning the program off.
when I try to render clouds in either PS CS 2 or CS I get this error.
I have reinstalled CS still same message, removed it and put CS 2 on it and still got the same message I have removed all the files and tried to put one of the versions back on here still same message.
2008 MacBoo Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 512 MB graphics card tried running Photoshop CS6 under Mac OS X 10.7.4?  On my MacBook Pro, PS CS6 launches; however, any action results in an out of memory error. The CS6 versions of After Effects, Premiere Pro and Illustrator all launch and run as expected under 10.7.4.  If I switch to my Mac OS X 10.6.8 startup volume, Photoshop CS6 runs as expected. I have support cases open with Adobe, NVidia and Apple. Adobe thinks I need to update the display drivers. NVidia says display drivers must be provided by Apple. Apple says that the display drivers are current. The Apple support agent said that he can escalate the case if the issue can be reproduced on more than one computer.  I'd love to keep my MacBook Pro running another year or so without having to reboot in 10.6.8 every time I need to use Photoshop. I'd stay with 10.6.8, but of course iCloud requires 10.7.4. I have not tried Mac OS X 10.8 yet, but it's on my troubleshooting list.
Also, PS CS6 runs fine under Mac OS X 10.7.4 on my 2010 iMac.
It was already a problem with CS4 but it's worse with CS5. Under CS4 it was regularly necessary to me to relaunch the appli to empty the memory (even without image, after use, CS4 indicated n Giga in the window of the processes)The same phenomenon with CS5, but moreover, if I have some one about ten images in display, in the course of processings the functions spend in break the time to put in memory (swap) of the data on the hard disk... In the course of this type of processing I exceed hardly 5 Go...For information I work under Vista 64 bits - 24 Go of lively memory (17 available Go for Photoshop), processor Intel I7 930It seems to me that there is no reason that Photoshop keeps(guards) in memory history after closure(lock) of a photo!
I used Photoshop CS6 without problem until now. Now I dont have enought ram , still cpu processing, freezing and delete my UI layout. I cant work with this I have Core2Quad, 8GB ram, GeForce 250 GTS with Windows 8. Latest driver I also tried beta version and older version. Clean settings, disable opengl, reinstal photoshop, install 32 bit of photoshop I tried everything. All my programs (AE, Premiere, Softimage) works perfect. I dont use any plugins. Also tried compatibility mode. Now it looks that I have to reinstall windows.

 since I use the newest Photoshop version I´m faced with tons of perfomance issues. Although I love CS6 and CC for the speed and performance, those pop-ups "not enough memory to proceed.."
I´m working on a good machine, so it can´t be the system performance because I´ve never had similar problems with CS5. I don´t want to paste any windows reports again and again, or talking about recently installed plug-ins.
Or even re-installing PS over and over again... Because, again: I´ve never had any issues with CS5!I´m talking about irrational memory warnings when saving for web and devices, or even saving simple, small jpeg files. I´ve more than 4 gb ram free on my system when working with PS, so.. what the h.. is going on?
