Umm, seriously? You're on a computer with 2GB RAM? Sorry, but that's like trying to fly to the moon with a toaster. Get more RAM and install a 64bit operating system or, as a matter of fact, simply get a new computer. Even cheap notebooks with core3i processors will easily surpass your current setup...

I laughed so hard at your response. I really don't know squat about computers and I'm not embarassed at all to admit that but, I'm trying to learn a bit more everyday. My bad mr. 21,847 posts : ) PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS: How exactly do I get more RAM or install a 64 bit operating system? How much RAM do I need? Can I add scan disk space? What are some examples of computers with core 3i processors? Any of those barrage of questions answered is a big help thank you!

That depends on your computer; best ask in the shop where you bought it.

How much do you need?  The more, the better.  I have only 4GB, and my Photoshop works decently well (for the limited tasks I use it for).  If you use it heavily, probably 8GB or 16GB would be better.

However, you can only use this memory if you use

• the 64-bit edition of Windows
• the 64-bit edition of Photoshop

Unfortunately you cannot upgrade 32-bit Windows to 64-bit Windows; you need to install it from scratch.
