Stripe full disk and cannot open photoshop to fix...

I can't open photoshop because it said that the scratch disk is full. I have been using photoshop (cs5) for 10 years and never had this problem. I recently installed cs5 on my Windows 7 computer and it worked for a few weeks, then this problem occurred. I can't afford a new version at the moment but want to use cs5 on this computer and I know he can run because he did it for several weeks, but now it won't and I can't follow the typical steps to remedy this situation because I can't open photoshop. Help, please!

Hello, welcome to the forum!

Because you cannot start Photoshop, you cannot change the allocation of work disk in preferences.

Fortunately for you, the engineers designed a shortcut to fix that: hold down CTRL + ALT (PC) / CMD + OPTION (Mac) starts as soon as Photoshop to get this menu:

Select a different drive with more space, but don't forget the cleaning of files cluttering your hard drive, as described in other posts.

  • Disk Defragmenter cannot open

    I try to defragment the disk, but I get this error message. disk defrag cannot open. Thanks for any help

    The exact wording of your error message would be useful? If you have installed an another disk defragmenter?

    Most Defragmenter problem arises a disk problem. Select Start, run, type cmd and press ENTER. Type "chkdsk c: /f /r" without the quotes and press ENTER. Make sure you include the spaces indicated. Enter Y when asked if you want to run chkdsk on restart the computer. Quit and then restart the computer.

    Marking bad sectors on a hard disk takes time so be patient. Delimiting does not repair a defective sector. He places pointers to the reader by saying the system not to read or write to these areas that have been damaged.

    If the number of defective sectors continued to increase after using the procedure above several times, then you should replace the disk. If an important system file is written to a bad sector, you can corrupt the registry hives and lose the entire contents of the disc.

    However if have run chkdsk you not see more new bad sectors, then the reader can work for you for years.

  • Cannot open photoshop elements 11

    just purchased and downloaded photoshop elements 11 (to my macbook pro). whenever I try to open the package, I get an error message and cannot open it.

    Thank you for your quick response. I realized what the problem was. It was the akamai download manager related problem. something does not work with the Manager, because when I decided to download the product again using another method, I was able to open the package. I have the latest os x mountain lion. What's funny, is that I have chatted with an adobe technology 'specialist', who insisted that I was 'necessary' to download and install the package using a wired internet connection. I really didn't know the person, that's why I decided to download the product using another route. Adobe needs to better train a support technique ther and also should reconsider the use of akamai. those of you who can read this b/c, you have also the same problem I had, try to use the alternate download method. It is slower and takes longer to download than akamai, but you should be able to open your package at least.

  • I use Windows XP SP3 and cannot open My Documents, my pictures, my music and my computer

    Original title: can not open files

    I use Windows XP SP3 and cannot open My Documents, my pictures, my music and my computer. I get no errors, but nothing happens when I click on one of them.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply. I managed to solve the problem before you receive your advice to defragment my hard drive. I had the problem on / off power for about six months and defragmentation has not always been successful success so when it happens then I will go through the procedures that you have listed. I have installed and uninstalled various applications in the last six months and suspect that the register is not in optimum condition... I have a problem during a shutdown or reboot stop where I get an error of tfswctrl.exe I close and the system then hangs and requires a medical examination. Is there, by chance, a Microsoft utility that cleans up the registry for applications that have been uninstalled, but be persistent pieces that shouldn't be there?

    Thanks again for your advice.
