Not enough RAM message Photoshop or Elements

Post by DaveW »

I uploaded Windows 10 update 1803 and immediately started getting not enough RAM messages in my Photoshop Elements 14 when I tried to process an image. There was no problem before this update. Evidently it is a known problem for many Photoshop or Elements users and neither Microsoft or Adobe seem to be coming forward with a patch.

The following video shows the problem users are getting in both Photoshop and Elements and the only fix available at the moment seems to be to edit the Registry since the problem and fix are exactly the same in both Photoshop and Elements, as in the video below (obviously putting in your version of Photoshop or Elements where required and evidently you have to use the 32bit tab, whether your computer is 32bit or 64bit since some claim it does not work if the 64bit tab is used).

Editing the Registry is not advised unless you know what you are doing, therefore you may need to find a competent person to do it for you like the local computer shop.

My computer programmer friend did the Registry tweak and no further trouble since. Although quite a few Windows updates since then. But whether Microsoft had also solved it with a later patch in the updates I do not know.
