Greetings!
This is the first ime I’ve had this problem on my Dell Windows XP (SP2) system: When launching Photoshop CS, I get the Photoshop window open, but after trying to initialize, scan plugins, etc., I get the msgbox:
"Could not initialize Photoshop because Photoshop cannot create any more windows". I have 1 GB RAM, 22GB free disk space, and am only running Outlook (and a virus checker) in the background, so I would think I have plenty of resources available. I have always been able to open Photoshop on this system, so I am puzzled as to why I am just now getting this message.
Any ideas would be urgently appreciated!
Thank you
Steve

It seriously would be in your best interest to add at least another GB of RAM, whether Don’s suggestion works to cure your problem or not.
