Arrow Photoshop RAM Problem

Lately when working in photoshop on my laptop I get an "insufficient memory(ram)" message. And I can't save. I have 512MBs of ram in there and photoshop barely touches that. No problem running any other programs. Any ideas?

I'm not running any filters, a few drop shadows and strokes but aside from that just graphics.

It could be that your hard drive is running out of space. If not, do as above and enlarge the page file.

1GB runs Photoshop pretty smoothly. I can do much more than I could when I had 512MB.

I allocated more space to my paging file. So far so good, thanks for the input.
