Photoshop prb. Please help me!

[sameer0807]

Hello,

I'm using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 for quite some time, never had any prb's. But now it seems something is wrong somewhere that is causing Photoshop to crash when i use Lasso tool, or any other tool like that.

I have already uninstall/re-installed the program couple times, but same prb.
So, this time i thought of using a newer version of Photoshop, Photoshop CS 8.0

But same prb. again. When i use lasso tool, or any other tool similar to that the program crashes.

Please help me!

I'm running Win XP home edition, with all the updates.

Help me!

what are system specs?
maybe there's not enough memory.

I know my way around PS but this is just a software issue. It doesn't seem that anyone here has any suggestions. Try visiting Adobe's forum and asking there.

Hmm

You haven't done anything dodgy with your pagefile settings have you?

It's prolly not that, but it's the one thing that I know is sure to screw with photoshop, it's very dependent on the paging.

what do you mean?

page file, virtual memory, both are the same.
use teh instructions here to figure out what your settings are set at, and you might want to try increasing them. I never thoguht of suggesting this before.
