I am working on user manuals that involve a lot of screen captures. I do the
screen capture and place it in an image processing program (Corel
PhotoPaint). There I resample it and convert it to JPEG to compress it. What
has been happening on an increasingly frequent basis is that I place the
screen capture in the image processing program, and the program freezes up.
I have to close everything that is running on my computer, save my material
(in FrameMaker) and then reboot. About a couple of months ago, our IT
department installed a new video card with increased memory in my computer,
and it solved the problem for a while. However, it is recurring once again.
I tried to resample and compress in other programs (PSP, Photoshop) but that
didn't work.

Does anybody have any ideas what might be causing this problem?
