Athena,
Please bear with me if my syntax is not entirely correct. I am a Lunatic Artist not a computer person.
Thank you for your suggestions and offer to try to open the Riff files but I have already deleted them. Let me give you some additional Info. regarding my machine and what I have done already.
I am running a Pentium 450 PC. I have 64MB of memory. I have about 7.6 GB of free disk space on drive C. Painter is on the same drive as my operating system.
I run Scan Disk, Defrag and Disk Clean on a regular basis. I have deleted the Prebuilt brush file (as suggested by someone else) and cleaned out my E-Mail folders. I am ordering another 64MB of memory today.
Again thanks for you help. I will let you know what happens after I get the new memory installed.
