I am sorry, I am posting this question a second time, but our connection was down, I'm not sure it went out. I am trying to pull in a PCX into PC Paintbrush. The PCX is about 650K in size. The error message I receive is there is not enough room on the C drive. I have removed up about 4M worth of files, giving me about 8M of free space. Yet I continue to receive the same error message. File Manager in Windows shows that about 83% of active memory free. I'm running Windows 3.0 in 386 mode with 2M of RAM and 8M on the C drive. I will summarize and post any hints and solutions I receive. -- /*************************************************************************/ /* The questions are my own and the opinion is my own. */ /* Steven Hartmann */ /* Southwestern Bell */

This is an elusive problem. What is probably happening is your TEMP drive doesn't have enough room for TWO copies of the image. Paintbrush has a bug that incorrectly states which drive it is trying to put the temp files on. It needs space for two copies: one to edit and one for undo. Hope this solves the problem. --Ken Sykes Dislaimer: Nobody listens to me.
