<p>Ok the Ctrl+Alt+Del didn't work. Saving the JPG as Baseline standard did work though, I should have tried that earlier. Anyone know why baseline standard would work but not baseline optimized or progressive?</p>

<p>Andrew- I can save as a TIFF, just not a JPG. I don't believe I still have the Photoshop disk to re-install so that might not be an option. I'll try the ctrl+alt+del and see if that does the trick.<br> Michael-The image needs to be a jpg and 24 inches for sure. It may work to save as a smaller file but then the image will be too small.</p> <p> </p>

<p>I can't save file as a JPG. I have a 24x36" 300dpi TIFF file (8bit, no layers) that I'm trying to save as a JPG (In CS3 with Windows XP). I go through all the normal steps and when it's about to save the file it pops up with the error message "Can not save .....jpg because of a program error". I can save the file as another TIFF but not as a JPG. I've tried reducing the quality to 10 from 12 as well as the Progressive or Baseline Optimized options. I have the Photoshop preferences using 75% of the available memory (even tried bumping this up to 100% or down to 50%, neither made a difference). I've tried changing the scratch disk to an external drive and not running other programs, neither option changed anything. Obviously I've tried other similarly sized files, restarting the program, and the computer. None of these made a difference. Help! I need JPGs to submit to a contest soon and can't seem to figure this issue out. Obviously I'd love a new version of PS and a new computer but neither is going to happen at the moment.</p>
