look in your application data folder for the prefrences. check the properties. make sure you have administrator rights to the folder. see the faq topic about resetting prefrences for file locations.

Photoshop works fine when my scratch disk is set to C..I think it might be an NTFS issue..since this only happens when I log in as a user..

definately permissions. give that user access to wherever you need the scratch disk to be.

its works fine now.. the NTFS permission were inherited from the C drive… It works fine now that the user group has Full control of the scratch disk
