I had XAOLS tools working with Photoshop 6.01 fine all of the sudden I can not use the filter because not enough RAM. Should I uninstall the filter and then reinstall it? I downloaded the latest drivers I think.

Are you on a Mac, or a PC?

I am on a Pc, AMD 1800X Athlon, 1.5 gigs of RAM, Matrox video card, Photoshop 6.01, Windows 2000 Pro.

Where is your scratch disk set? If you are working on a large file you will need more space allocated. This is because Photoshop holds a heck of a lot stuff in memory (history,undo, current modification...) all this adds up and when you try to apply a memory intensive filter/plugin it may cause PS to "crap-out". Look at the lower left "status bar" area and set this to view Scratch size. This will show the amount of RAM currently available to PS. You can also check the Efficiency (this will show the percentage of RAM being used).

Give it a look-see before applying the plugin and see if this is whats causing the CO (crap-out;))

You may want to de-frag' your drive too, makes it easier on the PS scratch disk...

Yes, I have diskkeeper that defrags quite efficiently and I have tried the filter on small 50 k files.

if the status bar indicates you have sufficent RAM to perform the filter function and the efficiency percentage is fine, then it sounds like a corrupted filter. Try to UNinstall and then REinstall it. hope it helps!! s

Course I realize I am a day late and a dollar short here, but did you try rebooting?

Yes and let me tell you that this botch installation brought havoc to my computer, Windows 2000 pro is acting weird all the sudden, my remove add program is a grey window, I get once in a while Windows Explorer error, my Media Player plays music but not movies. Anyway I was advised to format my C drive and start from scratch, I have never do it so I may have a tech walk through it or have someone do it, using fdisk could destroy something important.
