Also check to see how full your hard drive is?
The links that you provided have very good, very complete answers (especially the second link) Are you having difficulty understanding any aspect of the advice that they give?

Here's my computer informatoin, when it started to display the error:
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Service Pack 2
Pentium 4 CPU 3.00 GHz
2.99 GHz, 512 MB of RAM
Aproximately 9 GB / 150 GM of free space was available. It's currently 28 GB / 150 GB of free space.
I did a disk clean up. I cleared all temporary files, under my main Temp folder. I set the scratch disk primary and secondary source to my C drive. I set the Memory Usage down to 25%.
After all these changes and restarting Photoshop, as well as the computer, it still displays scratch disk full.
I'm not sure what to do now. The two articles I posted make some sence, and I tried everything I could understand.

Also, make sure that your New Document settings are in pixels not in inches. If you create a 800x400 INCH document, then the scratch disk fills in a hurry. Double check the dimentsions.
