Hi

I run Photoshop 4 on a Pentium 166, and a Dx4 100 each with 64 megs of
RAM and 1 gig hard drives with no problems except that 30 meg files cause
lots of disk swapping. But the systems don't often crash. I do restart
photoshop every so often to free up memory. I don't find any conflicts
between Photoshop and windows 95 (a).
I suspect that you have some software conflicts, or possibley some
corrupt system files. Also you must have enough free hard disk swap space
for at least 5 times the size of the file you're working on in photoshop
on the disk you choose in photoshop preferences, plus room for your
windows swap file (two different swap files. Everything should be
defragmented often to keep swap files contiguous.
When I run into this situation an all else fails I reformat my disk and
reinstall everything. If you are running a graphics workstation you don't
need to many utilities and old junk clogging your hard disk and memory
