Photoshop crashed on me, and would not allow me back in. I decided to uninstall and re install, as one would. however when I try to open I get the following error message "could not initialize photoshop because the scratch discs are full" I had scratch discs set up on my other drive partitions. I am running an athlon 800 with 512mb of ram and an 80gb hard drive partitioned into 4 drives, and win2k pro. I can not work out a way of sorting the scratch discs outside of PS. Because I am using a seconhand version of PS 5.5 ( the reg was transferred to me but I don't have a manual) I have taught myself. Have tried Adobe on line help, but can't seem to get an answer to this prob. How can I set up scratch discs to get over this problem please. Can anyone help
