Whenever I try to do something pn photoshop, and error box apperas saying “the scratch disks are full”. What does this mean? How do I fix it? It appears every time I try to use the paintbrush tool, or any tool for that matter. Help!

Go into the Help menu, type in Scratch disks. What it means is you don’t have enough memory allocated to Photoshop. Photoshop Help will tell you how to do that. If you have been saving a lot of photos and other things that you are editing with Photoshop onto your hard drive, you may need to remove them; you may be running out of hard drive space. Photoshop uses both RAM and the hard drive when processing files. Consider investing in an external hard drive (you can get a 1 Terabyte hard drive for less than $150 now!) and storing all files there, and trying to keep your internal hard drive for applications and such and working files only.
