Still won't work. Bear_Music, Strangehost, and Ursula all had no problems with it and I appreciate their help. It won't work on my PC or my wife's PC. We both have paintshop pro 9. I don't know what else to do. These are just the ones that came from a CD. Everything else works fine.

Did you try using another program just to see if it's PSP or something with the computer or CD?
Bear asked of you could email him the photos, maybe you can email them to yourself and save them to the folder of your choice? THEN edit them.
I use PSP also...what EXACTLY does the error message say? I have gotten an error (can't duplicate it at will) before and I just made another edit...whether crop off 1 pixel or something like that and it saved fine.

Just a few suggestions. Hope 1 of them works.

I dont know if it has anything to do with it, but are the pictures in 16 bit mode or 8 bit mode?

If they are 16 bit try changing to 8 bit.

If I try to close it again, we just keep going through the same scenario. I finally have to say no. The picture will close out and the changes won't be saved.

Have you tried uninstalling and then re-installing the program?

If the edited version you are trying to save is jpeg, try using the jpeg optimizer. It's accessed from Export in the menu under File. Assign it a different file name.

Sounds to me like the CD might be protected. Can you upload any of the photos to DPC, Photobucket, etc? Can you email them to yourself and save them that way? If not, is there someone you know that's a computer guru? Maybe they can 'copy' them.....there's always a way.

I may have to try something like that. Like I said earlier, all other pictures work fine. It's just the ones from these CD's. I appreciate all the help from everyone. It's also good to know that DPC has such brilliant people as coronamv. Where would we be without his knowledge.
