In resinstalling all adobe products ps7 needs a scratch disk.

I do not rember doing that before but now I need to.

can any body tell me how and why?

thanks BigJohn

its a "swap section on a HD " just select the biggest or fastest HD you have in you system.. and set it as scratch disk

I pref. to use a 2nd or 3th HD for it and not the C: drive even when that might be the most speedy one.. 

Btw a Subbed/Partittion D: drive is not a extra drive but a section on a other HD called "D:"

yep, PS often needs to juggle alot of stuff in memory while you work your magic and your "scratch disk" is an area allocated to that purpose...

Thanks now trll how to do it,ps7 wont start because of the lack of or fullness of the scratch disk.H ow do you go about making such a thing?

BigJohn

H ? drive H ? is that a real rive or a sub. part of C:  most H:  drive are the part were Backup systems of Windowz lives..

And fullness ? as in no more room on the H/: drive for the scrats file.. select a difrent drive ..use C: to be sure its a real drive and check if its working..

It is in the manual ..and i dont understand what you realy want ? ...

Its nothing more then cecking a little checkbox in the Pshop Prefs ..to select on what HD the swapfile wil be ...

You dont have to do anything... if you still cant get it to work you might want to start a support ticket at adobe..
