    Hi Daarkora

    Well I not sure that I understand what you getting ad (I have PaintShopPro
    9.x in a registrated version and a few others and well known photo programs
    as well), but I have solved the problem!
    Here comes my answer to John in another newsgroup:

    Hi John

    Thanks for your help, but I did not have any problems with finding the
    C:\Documents and Settings\Your Account\Local Settings\Temp....and Temporary
    Internet Files.
    I normally once every day - just in case - make the clean up under the
    Internet Options/general pane.
    And normally I have not any problems in fact I have never tried this before.

    But after you wrote to me I went in to the folders and looked in their
    properties and here I sav that Internet temp... did have cache on 17.4MB.
    And after I did the deleting there was still 15.6MB left and that was very
    strange. Normally there would be max 2.5MB left. So I logged out as User no 1
    and back in as the administrator in safe mode.
    And then I went through all the "Temp" and "Internet temporary files"
    folders under all the settings on my computer. And then there was only
    16-44KB left in these folders.
    Then I logged out and back in as User no. 1. After that I tried to go online
    and found a picture and tried to save picture as.....
    And this time it worked as it should :-)))
    The picture was a zzz.jpg file and I got same name in the "save as" box.
    But it is strange that there are 15.6MB after a deleting process for no
    reason at all.

    So the solution in my case was not just to delete everything in Temp - and
    Internet temporary files folders - as I normallly do.
    But I did have to login as administrator in safemode and then make the
    deleting.
    Very strange ....

    But now I know what I have to do on my "Personal Computer (= PC)" next time
    I experince this problem.
    But thanks to you and others for the dialoque :-)

    Friendly regards
    The Bear
