ok well whenever i try and open up paint file it gives me a messege "failed to create new document" and even if i open a old one it still gives that messege. anyway to get rid of it and fix it?

 

also i mean the paint program and any file opened by it

What do you mean by 'paint file'? The actual paint program? An image?

 

 

 

Need more info...

the program paint on windows

I get this all the time if I have too many windows open

 

 

 

It's not uncommon for me to have 60+ windows on my task bar, and about 80+ firefox tabs (I just keep making them LOL.) Plus, mIRC uses native windows, which takes away from the number of windows available.

 

 

 

If you have a LOT of stuff open, close a few you're not using and try again.

60+ windows? What are you doing? How much ram do you have in your computer to run them all at the same time?

Anybody can open 60 notepad files because Notepad only uses < 10MBs of ram, but I'm sure he wouldn't have just notepad open. The thing is why would he have 60 programs open at the same time.

 

 

 

Oh I just tried it, I had 60 empty notepad files open and as many times I could click tabs of IGoogle open in Firefox. I was well within my ram limits.

the close windows thing worked, thing is i only have a couple of windows open at a time (like 4) and maybe 6-8 tabs so that seems odd but thanks for the help
