Help with Photoshop CS

Where does that scratch disk go?

from JoeUser Forums
I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS from PS 7.
Since then whenever I try to resize an image I get the message that the task could not be completed because the scratch disks are full.
I have moved the scratch disk to another partition on my main drive (didn't help) then to a slave drive (also didn't help) both partitions have over 10 GB free, so what gives?
I read something somewhere about replacing the PS preferences folder.
Any PS wizards know the answer to this one?

OK, that's supposed to say "upgraded to Photoshopop CS"
Wouldn't let me edit after posting.

Reload the defaults in your preferences file, by physically deleting the prefs file. Sometimes if it gets corrupted, it can cause such errors. Since you just upgraded, there's a chance it got messed up in the process. Make sure you exit PS first, since I think it saves your prefs at the end of the session.

LOL... *boggle*. Yes, I wouldn't trust that $600 piece of software to resize an image...

P.S.

If, by some slim chance, you are trying to resize an image by pixels, and you have it set to inches, it is very possible you wouldn't have enough room. I dunno what a high dpi image would be at 1600 by 1200 inches, but it would probably be pretty steep.

Thanks, BakerStreet.
I moved the preferences file to another folder(also deleted the prefs file to PS 7.0 just to be safe), restarted PS and it worked fine.
The image I was cropping is actually a small PNG, so I couldn't see what was causing the problem.

Bash2, it wouldn't be a stretch to estimate that about 90%+ of all images you see on the web and in print, have been created in or modified by, Photoshop. Especially true on a site like this one.
