    My computer seems to be working just fine. I can scrap and it doesn't slow or anything. Acts normal. The second I try to save my layout though it freezes up! I lost yet another page I made yesterday.

    It's driving me nuts! Plus, I'm falling behind on my CT work. :hissy

    Oh no, that is awful!!! I'm having PC issues too - mine is going sooo slow, especially in PS. I hate it.

    Trish, it sounds like maybe your scratch disk is full or malfunctioning. You might try deleting all of your ~PST####.tmp files if you're on Windows. You will probably see a bunch of them with different numbers.

    trish, maybe it's using your HD for scratch disk.

    Mine has been closing down in middle of scrapping too, it did that a couple times today. I keep saving every few minutes. I would like to know where the files to be erased too.

    Search all of your drives for *.tmp files. The PS ones will have files names PST and then a bunch of numbers. You can safely delete them.

    If you don't mind losing your editing history, you can also try Edit > Purge to dump all of the caches in PS.

    I couldn't find purge either. I have Elements; is it different?
