Thanks for your help and advice,
Michelle,
I am at the maximum of 256MB for this machine, unless
there is a way round this?
Peter,
Thanks for your advice, I have done what you suggested but
unfotunately the problem persists, I still have 7GB on C
and 8GB on D, I was hoping there would be a way I could
make the card reader open on to the D drive to bypass the
problem on C, if there is a problem and it is not just
lack of memory, as Michelle thinks.
I obviously need a new machine but I would have thought
over 7 GB and 256MB would allow me to do what I need for
now?
Once again thanks for your help.
Bill.
