Photshop Prompt - Virtual Memory disabled and it's staying that way!

[JAB Creations]

I have enough memory to run all the programs that I use and therefor do not have use for virtual memory. The only problem I have is with Photoshop 8 which always displays an obnoxious prompt in regards to my virtual memory. I do NOT care to hear points about virtual memory. I am interested in knowing how to disable this prompt without turning on virtual memory. Any suggestions?

I'm either totally correct or totally incorrect, in which case you'd get more useful advice out of a ham sandwich...

Isn't the v-memory in Photoshop tied to its use of a scratch disk? Scratch disk settings are in the app's main Prefs, but I don't know if a scratch disk can be disabled or anything like that... if I am correct, then it would have to be assumed that you don't have enough HD space to warrant a useable scratch disk for PS/CS.

Apparently I have to figure out how to disable the scratch disk. According to Adobe memory isn't stable and was generally a bad idea. I'm sure since Microsoft sets the standards for everything (sarcasm) and has VM set to 2.5X your memory (regardless of how much memory you have) this can be interpreted as Microsoft also seeing memory as a generally bad thing. Since most computers you will buy come with 256 mbs of memory and 512 is considered an upgrade it can also be interpreted that corporations of all types also agree that memory as it is 40 dollars for 512 mbs of it (on the consumer level), is also a generally bad thing.

Regardless I like memory, have lots of it, and would not like to be harrased for having a computer that does not suck.

According to all the Photoshop groups on Usenet, you may not disable the scratch disk.

Anyway, why do you put yourself through all this; why don't you just use the program and edit some photos?

I do just use the program and edit some photos. I do not feel I should be harrased everytime I open the program because I'm competent in making my computer with enough memory.
