What could be causing an "unexpected error: i/o error 6?"

[Dan Waldo]

Suddenly, when I try to save a PowerPoint 2000 file (no
matter how small) I am told that "an unexpected error
occured: I/O error 6" I can find no clue as to what this
means, expect that the system feels there is not enough
memory to complete the operation.

Anybody have a clue what's going on here?

"An unexpected error occurred - I/O Error 0" or "An unexpected error
occurred - I/O Error 6"

Aha! Talk about inscrutable ... but the link provided
what I needed and the fix seems to have worked. I assume
that I'll never know how I found myself in the problem?

No, but just be sure you never do it again! <G>

That pretty much covers most computer problems I know of.

Can you find which number I made wrong? It could be that the
one-in-10-billion chance that a computer might misread a number happened.

Don't worry about it unless it becomes a habit.
