thegrindre Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi all, I can't save anything with this version. I have to 'select all' then copy into Irfanview to save my work. No error messages, just locks up. Only option that works is the big red X then windows says it's not responding and needs to close. PC; Intel duo core processor clocked at 4.33 Ghz 4 gigs ram NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS with 640 mb ram 24" monitor at 1600 x 1200 res WinXP Pro Anyone got a clue why?

barkbark00 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Does the 'Browse' dialog come up, or does it freeze as soon as you click 'File > Save (As)'. If you are able to set the file name and save location, where on your system are you trying to save the file?

thegrindre Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yes, the 'Browse' dialog comes up and that's where it freezes. I can't click on any 'option' within it once the dialog pops up except the big red X (close) which causes the shut down. Thought I might also add, if I close, (big X), while I've edited anything, and the 'in app' dialog pops up and asks me what I want to do, then click on 'save', it freezes there too. I have no saving abilities at all. Rick Quote At my age, 'happy hour' is a nap... My web site, http://www.allricksstuff.com is for narrow gauge train lovers...

Myrddin Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 @thegrindre: If you are able to set the file name and save location, where on your system are you trying to save the file?This is quite important as it has been known that certain files within the folder being saved in have caused problems such as this - if I remember correctly, DivX or Xvid videos - so it would be useful if you could tell us the contents of the folder to be saved in. We don't need to know file names or stuff of that nature, just file types will do.

thegrindre Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 I have no choice, as I stated above, the dialog box is when it freezes. It pops up on default I guess. I believe it was a .png file at first I then reset the preferences to .bmp. Quote At my age, 'happy hour' is a nap... My web site, http://www.allricksstuff.com is for narrow gauge train lovers...

Myrddin Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I know that, but what is in the folder? You don't even need Paint.NET to do that, just find it through Explorer and list off the file types in there. If, however, you don't know what the 'default folder' is, go to File > Open whilst in Paint.NET and see which folder comes up as this one will be the folder you are freezing with. Paint.NET uses the most recent folder accessed as the folder to save / open in. I do hope that made sense.

thegrindre Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Everything seems to be working fine, now. :? I was going to post some screenshots but I can't get it to 'crash' anymore. :shock: Only change I made was to change the default .png file save to a .bmp file. :? I save to my desktop, btw.
