This problem has been posted before by somebodey else but was not
satisfactorily answered: I have a photo show with about 15 pictures (appr.
3-4 MB in size); it can be saved as a production file (wmv) only WITHOUT
music. As soon as I add either a Photostory-generated piece of music or an
mp3 file of my own, Photostory reports (obviously incorrectly) that there is
not enough space on my media or that program files are corrupt.
Re-installation of Photostory did not help.

I've done much larger shows before, and the problem never occurred.

====================================
Not a common issue and I can only offer
some ideas. If you discover the fix...please
share it with this newsgroup.

Maybe some maintenance would help:

(260897) How to Delete the Contents of the
Temporary Internet Files Folder
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=260897

Running Disk Cleanup, Error Checking and
Defrag on a regular schedule is a good idea.

(315265) How to Perform Disk Error Checking
in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315265
(check the two boxes..."Automatically fix file
system errors" and "Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors") the utility will run
the next time you restart your computer.
(run error checking repeatedly until it finds
no errors)

And it may help to add more RAM or to increase
the size of your Virtual Memory Paging File.

Thanks John,

but there's no lack of disk space, there's 512 MB RAM, and I've done bigger
photostories before. And, as I said, the problem has been posted before by
somebody else.

The image file is only 3 MB, and the problem occurs with mp3, wma and
photostory-generated music.
