Answer
Hi Jani,
thank you :-)

Ok scratch disks full means, that there is no sufficient memory to perform a task. In this case 'creating a new document'.

How to fix this is:
clear some memory in your computer. May be deleting unnecessary files/deleting temporary Internet files/emptying recycle bin etc.

Then:
If you have partitions in your computer: lets say you installed photoshop in 'C:' drive and you have lot of free space in 'D:' drive then here's how to fix this.

1)Open Photoshop, Go to the menu - Edit > Preferences > PlugIns & Scratch Disks...
2)Under Scratch Disks: In "First:" Select "D:" instead of Startup. Then "Second:" could be another drive (if available with free space) or Startup.

then restart Photoshop.
you will not have any more problems :-)

Feel free to ask me if you need further clarifications.
