3. what version of PS?

We used to have similar problems at work with loading files in old 32bit versions of PS on Mac (pre CS5). They would give out of memory errors when it was obvious there was plenty of free RAM. I don't think we ever found a solution but it doesn't happen on the newer 64bit version of PS (CS5> on Mac and CS4> on Win).

You could download gimp and convert the file to a different format (like a .tga, I've always found Adobe's tif support was a bit funky), I'd bet a dollar that gimp will open it fine ;-)
Hey man, looks like you may have hit the nail on the head. It's a 16Bit .tif and it's CS5 maybe I should just get the upgrade. I'll deffinately give gimp a go! cheers!
