Can anyone advise me please - I have just installed PSCS and Image Ready.
Image Ready seems to work fine - but when I open PS (or swap across from
Image Ready) I get a screen that says - 'Memory could not be allocated for
the activation process. Please close all other applications and try again.'
I have no choice (because nothing else works) but to click OK whereupon PS
closes down.

I have no other applications open, and my PC is only 6 months old with 512Kb
of memory. I have Win XP.

Has anyone else had this? What can I do?

you meen 512mb? If its the same as in PS 7 In edit preferences / memory
and image cache set it to 100% that might help, also set your scratch disk
to a separate drive or partition again that's in preferences hope that
helps,others know more about it than me .

tried reducing % memory allocated to PS in prefs? I think 70% is default...
drop to 50 and try again.
