Bad Allocation Error

Post by Trianni10 »

Sometimes while trying to attach graphics to my manuscript I receive an error message "Bad Allocation." Sometimes I can eleviate this by uninstallng then reinstalling the software but it always returns. I'm in the stone age where tech knowledge is concerned so I have no idea what this means or how to permanently fix the error. Help! :crazy:

How are you trying to "attach" the graphics? By Insert Picture from file or by Copy and Paste?

What is the type of picture that gives the "allocation error"? Is it always the one type, or does it happen with many types?
