STOP. Here's your problem right here. Your computer is running out of room that it needs to work with temporary files. This problem WILL get worse (directory will become corrupted and so on) if you do not immediately address this. I would recommend that you keep AT LEAST a gig free at all times. > For instance, when I try to "place" a photo or graphic into PageMaker > 5, it > often tells me it can't find PhotoShop or Picture Viewer or something > like > that to translate it.

I would strongly recommend you do the following things: 1. Clear space. Lots of it. 2. Make backups of your important files NOW. 3. Using DiskWarrior/PlusOptimizer or (if you must) Norton Disk Doctor/Speed Disk (current version), repair your directories and defragment your hard drive. > I began saving my 2001 and 2002 photos to CD to make some room on the > HD, > but my son's PC can't read the photos. Is that normal? No. Assuming you are making a hybrid CD, he should be able to read them just fine provided you remembered to add the .jpg to the end of the filename on all the photos. > I can open the > photos that he burns on his PC, but he can't open the photos that I > burn on > my iMac (external Fantom Drive CD burner and Roxio Toast lite).

Make sure you are burning a hybrid CD (Mac & PC) and not a Mac-only disc. _Chas_ "We don't want to be like Windows. We want to do everything better.
