Thanks to Charlie and David Elmo for solution ideas. I may retreat to PS 5 on this machine. There are cool features in 7 namely the "Save for Web" function in question but if it doesn't work well...
> First, you have 1G ram, right? OK. Is it good? How do you know? Test it >extensively with Gauge Pro over thousands of iterations (not a few tens or >hundreds). I down loaded Gauge Pro and ran the memory test which almost immediately failed with a ton of address errors. Too many to list here. This is past the outside envelope (rather more a postcard than actual envelope) of my system knowledge so I don't really know what to make of it. > Second, are you giving PS lots of memory. Done that. No diff. > Third, try setting cache level to 0 Done that. No diff. > Fourth, your nominated scratch disk is defragged well? Norton and Tech Tool Pro As best as I know how to do. > Is it A partition on the HD, another of which partition is one on which the PS prgm resides? Yes. > Try nominating the first scratch disk on the same partion as the PS and second > as the 1G one Really? I thought the opposit optimum. Given my postcard sized understanding, I'll try it tonight and let you know. > Fifth, maybe turn off VM forcing PS to load all into RAM. Never use VM. > You have a Edit/Purge/All command? This how you are clearing all caches > between saves? Tried it. No Diff. > And you are having this trouble with all sorts of files, not just one or two > (1 MB files are very small and no, you should not be having such trouble)? I create web views of work in progress for my clients (Illustrators and GA's our there, try it as a Value Added Service, they love it.) So all of the operations or done on files weighing, generally, under 200K. Two reasons why this problem is annoying, one: it SHOULDN'T be happening and two: this is work flow admin stuff done at the end of a work session when I am tired and immpatiently awaiting dreamland.
