SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following error message when you change the height or width attributes in Microsoft Paint:

Out of memory.

Also, you may see a large black area on your screen and your computer may stop responding (hang).



CAUSE
This issue can occur if you enter a large value, such as 99999, in the Width box or the Height box in the Attributed dialog box.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, enter a smaller value in the Width box or the Height box. This setting is dependent upon memory and hard disk space. To gain access to these settings, click Attributes on the Image menu in Paint.



MORE INFORMATION
This behavior may be different for localized versions of Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition, or for different regional settings that you select during the installation of Windows 98 or Windows 98 Second Edition.
