I can’t find where to set the max history states in CS. It’s not in the History Options window like it is in 5.5 (my last version). The help files aren’t real helpful either, as it only states that you can change the setting, but not how. Somehow the max has gotten set real high (I haven’t counted, but something like 100), which is eating up my memory and I would really like to set it back to 30 or so.

Thanks,
Robin

Thanks, I swear I looked there but I missed it. It was set to 199 (how it got set to that I have no idea), no wonder my RAM kept filling up!

THanks,

Don’t feel bad. I had to do a screen-capture and post that so a previous poster could find it. For some reason, that little square is just not that obvious to many. Maybe they are starting their search at one of the screens that is a few pages beyond General, or maybe it’s the placement on the page. The important thing, however, is that you did find it. Thanks to those who posted the correct location for you.
