P: An integer between 96 and 8 is required. Closest value inserted. "...not enough memory (RAM)"

Photoshop has become suddenly unusable. Almost every tool gives me an "Out of memory (RAM)" error and when I try to open the Performace pane I get the error in the title. I cannot get inside the settings, as this error keeps on popping up. I tried everything (reinstalling PS, deleting everything (including preferences), updating PS, updating Windows 10, switching to the latest Insider Preview). Nothing fixes this error.

    Hi Hannah
    Well, after two attempts I have now downloaded it but no idea where it is, what it is called or what to do with it to install when I find it?

    Michael, since your Adobe ID was the same as your email associated with this site, I found you easily and went ahead and sent you the invitation. Please let me know if you have any trouble getting started with the build. I would be happy to assist you.

    Thank you,
    Hannah

    Michael please email me with your Adobe ID if you would like to try the fix. This would be installing a different build, as opposed to altering your registry.

    Thank you,
    Hannah

    OK - I have the same problem - Photoshop crashes every time following RAM full message. I was told I could go into Preference>Performance and change the memory but every time I do that I get the Integer between 96 and 8 message.
    I see that there is a link to a page where this can be fixed with a warning that you need to be IT savvy if you go ahead and alter a directory - I am not that savvy and wouldn't risk it.
    Is there any other way this can be fixed? I need photoshop to make my living and not very happy at all since it is now completely useless.
