    Try this

    - Optimize scratch disks.

    When insufficient RAM is available for bitmap image editing, Photoshop uses a scratch disk file--temporary disk space used for storing data and performing computations. Photoshop CS can create 64 exabytes of scratch disk files on up to four hard disk partitions, while Photoshop 7 can create 4 exabytes of scratch disk files on up to four hard disk partitions. An exabyte is 1.074 billion gigabytes.

    The partitions you specify as the scratch disks should have enough free space to hold data several times the size of your image. A rule of thumb for good performance is to have free space equal to three to five times the size of the average image file. If disk space is insufficient, delete temporary files (see task 5) or remove other files from the hard disks.

    To specify a scratch disk in Photoshop, choose Edit > Preferences > Plug-ins & Scratch Disks.


    and settings are:
    c:
    none
    none
    none

    Try clearing out your temp files and rebooting- that's what we have to do at school to make PS work again. To clear out your temp files, try a program called CCleaner- it works wonders! :D
