I'm having a problem with Photoshop CS3.
Everytime I try to crop an image it won't let me because scratch disks are full or something.:(:bang:

Can anyone offer any advice?
 
What are your scratch disk settings? How much space on your hard drives? This can happen if you have a scratch disk which becomes full or is removed.
 
If you have 2 internal drive set the second (non OS) drive as the scratch disk in preferences/proformance Adobe don't recomend using different partitions on the same drive.
 
Memory Usage=
Available RAM: 649MB
Ideal Range: 357-467MB

Let Photoshop Use 357MB



Scratch Disks, C:\ Free Space: 20.90GB
 
Try defraging the disk, C drive is also the OS drive normally.
 
I'm not technical whiz but I had a similar problem last year. Photoshop took ages to load and edit even though the scratch disks, hard drive space were fine. After scrolling through internet help pages someone recomended unintstalling my printer. Worked like a treat after that. Unfortunately cant use the printer now :(

That's not much memory at all, it will be thrashing the disk a lot.

How big is your image in memory? To check this go to "Image" then "Image Size...". At the top of the dialog is some text that says "Pixel Dimensions: xx.xxM".

What are the numbers in the x's?

Try turning off the history states and also purging the cache many times.
 
Managed to solve the problem after all the suggestions. It was all my fault, I had somehow managed to stupidly enter really high figures in the crop boxes, so Photoshop was trying to crop up to a MASSIVE image!

Deleting the figures sorted it out.

Noticed this after trying the suggestions above. Many thanks guys for the suggestions.
