XP and PhotoShop Issue

webster · #1 02-23-2004, 11:37 AM

PhotoShop is delivering 'Disk Error 36 - Fatal Error' when I attempt to work/manipulate a 70 meg file. I've had no problems working with this 70 meg file in PhotoShop in any other operating system other than XP. I have tried dedicating more RAM to the program but this isn't helping.

Any suggestions? It's clearly an XP issue...
Thanks.

is your scratch disk on a separate volume.\

when photoshop works on large files, it uses a LOT of temp disk space. with a 70 meg file, that could run into the gig range and more.

check on your free disk space. do a clean up and see where that leaves you. i hate working with psd files. ever try to add 3d effects to a psd. you might as well go get a few beers, several hundred miles away...

i did a quick search on google for error 36 and in unrelated situations, the consensus says i/o error. without knowing more about your system, i wouldnt be able to say if thats an issue you could be experiencing.
