Okay, thanks. I asked because Photoshop was one of the few apps that would not run without an active pagefile. You might want to download and run memtest just to make sure the new ram is not faulty (http://www.memtest.org/)

Okay good. System Managed usually works fine for the PF, but Photoshop is an oddball. Anyway, glad you got it sorted out :)
