This may be a longshot, is there still anybody using version 3 out there? I have upgraded several times but still use version 3 for most of the simple stuff that I do because I’m so used to it I can finish a job very quickly and easily.

However, I just added additional RAM to my workstation, popped it up to 768MB and am going to a gig as soon as I get the stick. After I did that I couldn’t get 3.0 to open-got an ‘insufficient RAM’ message even after reloading the software a couple of times.

Anybody have a solution to get it up and running? Thanks.

What operating system are you using. Anything newer than Win 95 would likely be a crap shoot with that old and app.

XP Pro-and that was what was so strange, version 3.0 ran fine on my Pentium 4 2.4 with 512 MB of RAM but when I added the additional 246 stick it shut down. I’m wondering if there is some little glitch because I am using one 512 and one 256 stick. I was pretty surprised when it ran on XP Pro at all to begin with, actually.

I’ll pull the extra 256 stick if I have to tonight and get the rest of the jobs I have on the schedule out and then get version 7-I didn’t like 5.5 and haven’t upgraded from that one although I use it for certain editing steps.

Guess if I have to I’ll head around the learning curve and teach the old dog some new tricks. Not to mix metaphors or anything.

Jim,

Photoshop 3 wouldn’t recognize more than 512 megs RAM, and I suspect having more is what is confusing it…

In fact, when PS 3.05 came out, there was a European systems provider that had already installed a 1 gig machine for a client who was refusing to pay until he got PS to use the whole lot (and at the time, 1 gig of RAM cost a monumental amount)! The Adobe engineers re-wrote the code specifically for him – Now who says Adobe doesn’t care about their customers?

Thanks Len, I went ahead and pulled the extra RAM and rebooted, V 3 runs fine again now. Guess I’ll have to invest in V 7 and brush up on my study habits after the Holidays.

Nah, Len and I are Northerners – and that’s how we used to speak "oop thia" when we was young. It was also based on an old comedy sketch where two old folk were complaining about how tough it had been for them growing up in the poorer areas of the cotton towns around Manchester – with each one trying to out do the other one as to how tough life had been for each of them.
