Convert Mac psd to PC psd

| Can someone help me with opening Mac .psd files that contain text on a PC?
I know the .psd format is supposed to go across formats, but I believe you
need to rasterize any text before saving on the Mac or you'll have trouble
opening on PC. I have just taken over a website from a Mac user who provided
me with several .psd's that I am unable to open. I get an "out of memory"
error from Photoshop on all my systems.
Is there a program out there that can convert it to a true PC .psd or at
least somehow let me open the f***ing files? Windows can see the preview of
the files and give me all their properties just fine, I just can't get them
to open in Photoshop...
Thanks,
Craig.

They are the same; no conversion is necessary.

That is incorrect.
You can open Mac files on the PC and PC files on the Mac even if they contain
text. You will not be able to EDIT the text unless you have the same font that
the text is set in. If you have the same font, no problem.

Then you are running out of memory, or the file is damaged.
It is NOT because it's a Mac file; Mac and PC Photoshop files are identical,
even in text.
How much memory do you have in your computer? How big is the file? How was the
file given to you?

I have 512MB in all my systems. There's 4 files, one 10mb, two 800kb, one
27kb. Even the 27kb one gives me out of memory so I doubt the problem is
that I don't have enough RAM. I received them together in a zip, so maybe
the files are damaged... any chance I could email you the small one and see
if you can open it?

You can send me the 27kb at dubloen@hotmail.com if you want.

| Could it be a version error? When saving from the Mac, is maximise
compatibility turned on?

That could very well be. It sounds like they got clobbered somewhere along the
way.

Sure!
