I normally scan at 600 pixels, and keep the output image size to 3x4 or less. This is locking up at the point that I click on Exhibit Log - thus far, there is nothing in the log -- I haven't been able (until this a.m.) to add anything or even open it to add anything.

This is a problem not with your computer but the increased size of images
since the ESPIA FoxPro library was built - that is the beast that deals the
images in TMG4. I have had problems of a similar kind and I have found that
it is due to images having too many pixels. I had an image that was 4500 *
6000 pixels (scan at 1200dpi) that freezes TMG4. I re-sampled it back to
300 dpi (1100 * 1500 pixels and it opens fine in TMG4. Such images are far
too data intense for most printing and certainly too many pixels for use
within chart boxes.

Try this out and you may find a work around. Keep your hi-res pictures in
another folder and re-sample and attach the re-sampled ones for TMG use only.

I hope that this helps,
