Friends – I’m getting this message every time I open Photoshop CS. XP SP2 PC has 2 GB of RAM. Ideas? – Thanks, Bob

"Could not open the clipboard because there is not enough memory (RAM)"

In preferences, under memory & Cache, Memory Usage, Available RAM : 1757MB, maximum used by Photoshop is set at 55% = 966MB

Have you tried to Purge the clipboard?

Frankly I don’t understand how Photoshop handles the clipboard – if I copy something from inside Photoshop it can be pasted into an image; if I purge the clipboard, for Photoshop it’s gone but in fact it’s still on the Windows clipboard to be pasted into something outside Photoshop. But wait, there’s more! If I now close Photoshop and reopen it and do "File > New" it sets it to the clipboard size (which it didn’t recognise just now) and a Ctrl+V pastes the copied item (which didn’t exist a minute ago) into the image.

Go figure.

Anyway Bob, try purging the clipboard from inside Photoshop or copy a few Bytes to the clipboard, thus replacing whatever is on it, and see if that helps.
