Scratch Disks Full

More of a techie question rather than a question based on school work, but this still seemed like the most appropriate place for it (apologies if it isn't ^^)

Now that work knows I can use photoshop at a desirable level that happens to be what I'm now doing. But I'm running into a problem with the Scratch Disks. It was previously just set to C:\ which is now full so on program start I switched the disks over to my other more empty drives.

However it continuously keeps resetting itself back to C:\ and it's bugging the hell out of me. I've set it in the preferences incase it wasn't storing at startup and I've just this moment done a good ol' re-install and still no luck.

Anyone got any ideas as to why Photoshop keeps using C:\ for a scratch disk on load? The IT guys aren't gonna fix it till after xmas, and that's waaaaaay too long for me ^^

A good question. Sorry I didn't notice earlier.

Common causes of this problem:
- Using a beta version of Photoshop.
- Using a bad Photoshop crack.
- Not shutting Photoshop down properly.
- The off chance that your disks aren't mounting properly at startup, or Photoshop is simply having trouble writing to them. This could be, for example, a drive controller problem.


Browsing the Photoshop support forums, it doesn't appear to be a common problem, so any answer I may provide will probably be vague.

There do appear to be a variety of preference saving issues traced back to the use of beta builds and crack usage in conjunction with Photoshop 7 and CS. Of course, I don't make any assumptions, but it's worth noting in the off chance that.... well, y'know.


A few questions before further help can be provided:
- Which version of Photoshop are you using?
- Are only your scratch disk preferences affected, or are all preferences affected.
