# This is the problem
you need to clean out as much space on the disk as possible. Empty all temp folders (epecially the adobelm temp files ). PS needs large empty space to use as a swap space, this is your scratch disk. Having it on the same drive as your OS will eventually severely hamper the running of your system. As soon as you can get another disk you need to set that as your scratch disk.



currently all you can do is delete everything you don't need, clean all temp files and then defrag the disk as PS needs as much unfragmented space as possible especially if you have 1GB of ram or less.

# Just so you understand
there is no 'scratch disk' to empty, it just means that photoshop can't fine enough space to allocate itself for swap files.
This page might explain it better.
