Hi Beth,

Actually, I was wondering the same thing. I was also doing an alpha, my 'puter froze, and I had to get out of PI using the old C-A-D method. I also have been getting messages about my "system resources" being low. I'm not sure what that is. It won't let me go any further and I have to close out. Worst thing is that I can't save at that point either. So one of the things I have been doing is saving my file after I do the first letter and then saving again after each one or two letters are complete. Note that this has only happened to me when working on an alpha which is all on one sheet. If I do each individual letter in a separate file, I have no problems. I am wondering if the size of the document has anything to do with it. I guess I should also note that the last time this happened I had no other programs open -- only PI, yet it told me to close all other programs. I use PhotoImpact XL. I don't know if I should contact Ulead and inquire about this or just switch to a different program. I tried PSP but it is not very user friendly. I am relatively new to digital scrapbooking and I originally bought PI to fill craft templates because the procedure was so easy. I had no idea that I would want to do anything else with it until I discovered digi-scrapping. I had heard that Digital Image Pro is very user friendly and easy to use. I was considering switching over, but I think I will try to call Ulead first. A program should not freeze up when nothing else is open.

Any more input?
