Hello, been using Picture It Premium 10 for years. All of a sudden, I am making a rather large collage and it says it can't save the file, no matter how small I change it to. I have attached an image of the error, but it won't let me save the file. Any help out there would be much appreciated. I make a living with my images.Thanks already.

I'm not familar with that program but I can ask acouple of questions that might help anyone else that comes along.

What operating system are you using?
Have you saved similar files before without trouble?
Have you made any recent changes to your system that might have had an effect?

[lbsutton]

Hi, Windows 7
Yes, I have saved similar files very recently
I think when I installed Paint Shop Pro it got weird with the ram

Can you save it to a different location ... file Name ... and/or file type ???

[lbsutton]

No, I tried saving it to a disc, tried to make it smaller, still have the message.

From what I'm reading Here ....
Picture It is an obsolete Program and only compatible in Windows 7 if if run in the compatibility mode for "Use in an older Operating system"

I have done a ton of collages using this program on windows 7, why would it act up now?

One of my TS Procedures .. If in doubt - Reboot

And, I would have (did) try Adobe Photoshop Elements version 10 instead of Paint Shop

I know, but I didn't want to lose all the hard work I did in the new project I just did. still hoping to find a fix. I am looking at my programs and uninsalling those I don't use. Hoping to free up space since this happened when I installed painshop pro. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I had paint shop pro, did not want to spend any money on a new program when I LOVE Mircrosoft Picture It is Adobe PHoto elements cheaper than PHotoshop?

[Noyb]

PSE 10 is about 10% of the price of Photoshop with about 98% of the Image editing abilities of Photoshop.
The rest of Photoshops expensive abilities are mostly for Web work.
I have both .. but have not messed with making collages

Are you clicking File -> Save As, and selecting different locations? C:\Temp? Documents?

[lbsutton]

Hi, thanks for your response. Yes, I am trying, desktop and also a disc in the d: drive.

[DoubleHelix]

Try other folders, not your desktop. Also create a new folder on C:\ like Temp or Test, and try saving it there.

If that doesn't work, there's probably some fault in the program that would probably clear with a restart. You haven't saved the file at all since you started working on it? If it's quite large, it's possible it overflowed a buffer or memory or something similar. Next time, save more frequently.
