Thank you, didn't even cross my mind that it could be the PC memory...have 4 GB Ram.

I am in a situation where I need to extract large jpeg image files and then annotate with text. I find that the zoom capabilties and manueverability quite impressive with paint.net however when attempting to edit or layer jpegs in the >2 MB range i get an out of memory error. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
