Connie,
You should start by emptying out your TEMP folder and flushing the
Recycle Bin. It's amazing how many problems can be linked back to some file
in that TEMP folder. Next, we already talked about this in another thread,
but you should empty out your TIF folder. Next, I would check to see just
how much hard drive space you have left. If it's not much, the space
squeeze may be affecting other areas of Windows and these problems are just
unhappy byproducts of that. In that case, you might want to consider a
larger drive or burning/cleaning out some old saved stuff. If you have
plenty of space, take a serious look at what comes up in the Startup tab in
the MSConfig applet (Start/Run/ (type in) MSConfig/Enter key). You may just
have too many TSRs (Terminate & Stay Resident programs) running in the
background and they're eating up all of the resources Windows needs to run
well.
Finally, reboot to start with as much free system resources as possible
and don't open up any programs other than your Email app until after you've
saved whatever files you want from the messages in question.
Peace,
G Man

Thanks for your reply, GMan! Rebooting does help, if only for a little
while. Actually, I'm having more problems now that are more bothersome. I
can't save graphics in emails or off the web in any format but bitmap
(.bmp). I don't think that's how they're all coming to me, because some are
animated, etc. Also, a check of their filenames shows they're not
originally .bmps, that's just the only option I get for saving them.
Additionally, I can't open or view any Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) files or
Shockwave Flash files on the web anymore. I don't know what I did to cause
these problems - I used to be able to choose what format to save graphic
files in - .jpg, .gif or .bmp and I could open .pdf files etc. Does anybody
have any idea what's going wrong here? Thanks in advance, Connie C
