Photos larger than 6 mb are not viewable in Picture It

[Guest Tracy]

When I attempt to download a flolder of photos with individual photos having

6mb or greater, instead of the thumbnail showing the picture, it says,

"Unable to download picture due to insufficent memory. I have 1012mb of ram,

and 130gb of memory.

What is the cure for this?

thanks

Tracy

I have used picture it in the past but do not know if it has a size limit

for images. I wouldn't think so.

 

Go into task manager (press ctrl-alt-delete then click the Task Manager

button) and then click on the Performance tab and take a look at your memory

and page file usage. It should give you an idea of how much memory you have

available in each so your problem can be better diagnosed.

 

As for picture it, what version are you running. I think I have version 7 at

home so just out of curiosity, I'm going to see if I have a very large image

and, if not, I'll try to create one and see if Picture it has any problems.

My system has 1.5 gigs of ram so I don't think I should have any problems

( and I wouldn't think you would either but, you do).

 

Let us know about your memory statistics. Check it before you open up

Picture It and then again after and note any changes, then try to open an

image that's, say, a meg or two in size and note any changes in memory use

after that.

Odd, but I posted a message here in response to yours and even though it is

in my sent items folder saying it was sent to this group in response to your

question, it isn't here online. That's suspicious. Here's my post from

yesterday.
