photoshop 7 scratch disk error

Lately I have been using photoshop and its crashing giving me this error.
Disk error -36 occurred while reading or writing to scratch disk, sorry but this error is unrecoverable, then the program crashes.
I have a 3 gigs available on the scrath disk. running OSX 10.3.8 on b/w g3 with 512 mgs ram.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Running Photoshop with old G3 macs and Mac OS X, crashing

There's allot of things that we can get away with on newer machines with so much horsepower. You are in a bit of a pickle because your machine has past it's hay day and will just take more finesse. So, a G3 with 512 trying to run OS X and photoshop is just a little trickier to manage and frankly, it's a stretch. Here's something to try that may help run smoother.

A scratch disk should be put on a separate drive, or a separate partition than your OS. If your hard drive is partitioned, go to the Photoshop pulldown menu and select Preferences >Memory >Image Cache for your primary scratch disk, choose largest partition. If your hard drive isn't partitioned, if you have an external hard drive, you could make it your scratch disk.

Also, of course run this with all other apps quit to give all power to your adobe photoshop. Or, run your most difficult jobs with old photoshop version that is more efficient with that old G3.
