PhotoshopCS not starting -

Hi - I've excitingly unrwapped the PhotoshopCS CD and installed it but I'm told that "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and tr again" then Photoshop closes.

I have bags of memory spare (even checked how much of it was being used as swap file etc). Any ideas how I correct this?

D.

there was a similar thread about this a couple of weeks back. You can check the size of your partition, make sure it's adequate.

Apart from that, I seem to remember a lot of people having to contact Adobe about it - and they then send you a link to a patch which you have to install.

Whatever happens, post the outcome here so that other people can refer to it when they have the same problem....:-)

Please do, because Im having the same problem, looking to put more ram in my puter now- I've got 512mb looking to double that.

What kind of computers do you guys have? I only have 256MB on my laptop and it runs just fine

Must not be a Ram problem, I've got 512MB of Twin DDR.

Ok this is all I did to get PS8 to work on my computer, I uninstalled it off the hard drive I had PS6 on. And put another hard drive in and installed it there- Presto....... works like a charm, must not like being on the same HD, go figure.

I have 7.0 and CS on the same 40 gig drive with no problems at all. All i'm running is 480 of SD with an XP2200

you guys probably have something screwey in the registery. i'd "regedit" and check it out...
