Question

"No more virtual tiles can be allocated" error message

This posting was made in April of last year but I can't reply to it so I'll post it all over again.

I just installed CS3 and I get the error message "No more virtual tiles can be allocated" when I try to run certain filters like most of the "sketch" ones.

I've tried to increase the memory usage to 1380MB (80%), Cache levels to 8 and I still get the error.

What's a virtual tile and how can I allocate more?

    What won't work?

    You change the scratch disk allocation in Photoshop preferences.

    I've been trying to make this work. I've logged in as the administrator and tried to change things but it just won't work. How do I change the scratch disk. That's what that webby, Phosfour dots linked me to, said to try in the "solution" paragraph. It also bugs me that my computer appears to pass the minimum requirements for CS3 so there should be no reason why this won't work.

    I just heard another guy in my department gets the same error. I'd consider getting IT to deal with it but they don't support anything but Word, Excel and Outlook.
