Sheeple!  :offtopic:

$37 for 8gb ram (2x4) on Amazon, so, yeah; pretty much a no brainer. 16 gb max (4x4) is the max for that imac. It wasn't worth butting heads over.

Sorry Corn, I didn't mean to get your goat.
Go ahead and rattle your dags mate!

So I upgraded the RAM, and updated the OS from Sierra to High Sierra and now CS 5.5 (or whatever version I have) doesn't run. It wanted a Java installation, so I did that, and now it "works," but when you close the app, it acts like the app crashed instead and gives you an error message about not closing properly. BAA! Any of you wooly bullies know how to fix that? Or do I need to hoof it over to the Adobe forums for a fix?

Only thing I can think of is to delete the prefs for whichever app is crashing and see if that solves it. Not sure if it works in something that old but the apps will delete their own prefs if you hold down Shift+Control+Option+Command when you open it.

Also might want to run the Onyx utilities for that version of OS and have it fix permissions.
