i am trying to work with a 3 image panorama and the message NOT ENOUGH RAM keeps appearing. I am working with Photoshop 7 and the computer is Windows 7 64 bit. I have changed the amount of RAM in preferences to 85% but to no avail. I have 7.90GB of usable RAM. My first scratch disc is C and second E (removable hard drive )
Can someone please help, thanks. Mike.
 
I had the same problem and my technical knowledge hits the wall despite suggestions. I tried the increase RAM in preferences to no avial. I had to close PS and reopen the doc. Lost some work but not too much. I will say that it was a very large image. However, I had the day before worked on an image twice as large with no problem. I have other time to time problems, cursors changing format in the middle of a work period, keyboard shortcuts stop working, and things like that.

I tried resetting preferences and no help. Actually created new problems that I think I can reset but too lazy to do right now. It has been suggested that I reinstall PS and I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. I don't know if a random virus from the net could be responsible but that is my next step. My virus checker found nothing. I will take my PC to an expert and have it checked over. I don't like to do some of this stuff myself! Imagine, me a mod and a techno dolt. Well, I guess there were other reasons I was chosen . . .

Good luck. I'll let you know if reinstall helps but maybe you'll have found your prob by then. Please post it if you do. Thanks.

PS 7 is not 64 bit....I wonder if that might be eating memory ?

There you go.

I don't know if this applies to PS7 but CS4 and CS5 32bit can access 3.2 GB on a 64bit OS but CS4 & CS5 support 64bit.
It's very likely your PS7 can only address 1.7GB if the 8GB memory you have.

In the performance tab, if you slide it up to 100% how much memory is listed for Photoshop?
