Re: cannot save photo story 3 file

thanks for repling john...
I tried doing all of the above but the same thing happens. I do have 1Gig of
RAM. But like I said, the file is only 20 MEGS in size. When i halve the file
it works so it seems like a size issue but why it is I cant answer that. If
anyone has experienced this please come forward, as Microsoft does not help
customers with "free" downloads.
