Link photoshop file to illustrator error

Using Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS2 on Windows XP SP2. The computer is an HP xw4200 workstation with 1.5 GB Ram. I've got scratch disks on a seperate drive of 40 GB's each. The drives are SATA 150's.

The problem is that when I try to link a file from Photoshop using File | Place with the link button checked, I get an error that says "Photoshop file unreadable." The file is currently open in Photoshop and I can Place a file that is not opened.

The file I'm trying to link is ~950 MB's. My Windows swap file is 2 GB's.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Update:
If I try a slightly lower resolution the file works. I can't see that I'm running out of memory, either swap or otherwise. What would be the cause of this?

Thanks,
Jerry
