i didn't think anything below cs 2 would run on windows 7. that aside it sounds like your cs is trying to save to the disk from which it was installed - or you/it have created a virtual disk somehow.
Do you mean that that PS is successfully installed?
What do you mean exactly when you say that you go to "load or save" a file?
Where are you loading or saving it from and to?
I can start PS in the normal way and the prog will run.
I can create a new file using File-New and a document opens.
I can put text on the page with text using the text facility.
When I try to save the page I am unable to because the file is locked.
If I try to load an existing picture into PS I cant because I'm told "the disc is full"
I am trying to save the doc to my pictures file on my C drive and trying to load a picture from the same place.
I've just tried doing everything you describe there and it all works. Admittedly, I'm using CS5 but in theory, it should be the same.
I had wondered whether or not you had rasterised the type and flattened the layers but I managed to save it either way. Opening an image worked as normal, as I'd expect it to.
I have to wonder if Jack's right when he says that he reckons that there's a compatability problem between your Photoshop 8 CS (I'm not really sure what that is) and Windows 7. It is looking likely.
I've never used Paintshop but I've just looked up your photoshop 8 CS and to be honest, it's so old that there's quite probably a free editor out there that would be a match for it.
Quote: Where on c: are you trying to save the file? CS won't be aware of the areas that Windows 7 protects, and a disk full message might actually mean 'you don't have permission to save'.
You could try running CS as an administrator, and see if that changes anything.
I do have an admin account, however I created another admin account in a different name and so far all is working OK so I'll stick to using the new account.
