Re: cannot save photo story 2 file

I've tried to save my photo story 3 file of 20Mb in size
and it doesn't allow it.
I get the message "there is not enough memory or disk
space to compete this operation..". It also goes onto say
to un-install photo story 3 and Windows Media 10 because
the programs may be corrupted. I've uninstalled both
programs and re-installed them again and it happened
again. As for not having enough disk space, i have over 150 Gig
of space on my hard drive.
I have done a disk clean-up and a disk deframenter also.
What I have done to troubleshoot though was to shorten my
file to about 10mb in size and .. it worked!
But this is not acceptable as the maximum size allowed
is way above this. I also dont use that many pictures
either but i have used some photo software effects to
alter the look of them. If anyone can help that will be
greatly appreciated thank-you.

Just some ideas....

I know you ran DiskCleanup...but try deleting your Temporary Internet Files...have a look at the following articles:

(301057) Temporary Internet Files Use More Disk Space Than Specified
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=301057

Maybe adding more RAM or increasing the size of your paging file would help.

in Windows XP

Also...before opening PhotoStory...close
all programs...especially virus scanners.
