HI,
There is not hard and fast rule regarding this.
It is possible it relate to the available temporary space tha the app can access.
I would try a PRAM reset.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down Apple/CMD ( or ⌘)+ALT( ⌥)+P+R Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.
If that does not improve things that start the computer holding the Shift key down (Safe Boot)
restart normally once the computer is logged in a Mac User Account.
