Hello all. I've been having a Photoshop problem that has persisted ever since I've owned the program. I'm really not sure why it occurs, but maybe one of you can shed light on this dillemma.
On the most basic level, Photoshop 6 crashes my computer. Often. Every time I use Photoshop for a fair amount of time (say...15 minutes or more) the program simply causes my computer to randomly restart itself. It's almost as if someone has cut the power to the computer then immediately restores power.
This problem als sometimes occurs with certain types of video. It's happened to me with a DDR video that I was watching.
Is it possible that the problem is that I don't have enough RAM? I thought I read something about that somewhere...I have 256 MB of RAM so far, but I am upgrading this Christmas.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled Windows, uninstalled/reinstalled Photoshop, downloaded the patches, but nothing works. My specs are: Windows XP, AMD Athlon XP 1600+, 256 MB RAM, 40-gig IDE HD, 20-gig external Firewire HD.
Does anyone have any idea what hte problem is?
Thanks a whole lot! Your help would be greatly appreciated!
