So I went to go launch adobe photoshop elements 3, right? And I get the error message you see in
This Pic. Naturally I thought it was a classic case of adobe charging lots of money for crap that doesn't work, but I have never run into this problem with PSE3 before. Never. And when I tried reinstalling and it said that my memory was crap (I have 512mb, most of which is being unused) and that I had to free some up first. I decided to run a virus scan cause the last time I had memory being eaten up was a Time I had a Virtum-gen on my machine. Long gone though. Virus scan ended with nothing detected (It's Sophos, VERY high end scanner and getter-rid-ofer). I decided to check the memory usage and found that, although my RAM was doing just fine, My PF had been maxed out and then some. So I check my processes, and NOTHING is running that should push my pf past 100mb. Msn has already crashed 8 times if I try to open fire fox because of the lack of PF. So I tried increasing the amount to use for Virtual memory. I have no idea what could be eating up all of my VM. Memory leak? Seems unlikely. I haven't downloaded anything aside from Ubuntu and Puppy linux since I downloaded Soldat.
I REALLY need some help, everything's going to crap and I don't want to have to nuke the hard drive on this thing or go get a new computer.
