importing jpgs , gifs etc.

[David Leoni]

When i tried to import pics , a message comes up saying that the temp
drive may be full.
I searched for *.tmp , deleted them and rebooted but still does the
same.
I am running win 98 ,have 64 mg ram..and plenty of hard drive space.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

Thanks,
I tried that but it didn't help.
I did get around the issue , however , by opening the .jpgs in
Corel Photo paint , and saving the files as Corel photopaint.
Draw then opened them , no problem.
