DS9 shuts down when I save as PES format

[Marcelle]

I often save in PES format and it previously worked ok. It did not retain the right colors but some of them were close. Just yesterday DS9 started taking a very long time to save in PES format and would then give me an error and shut down. I found that DS9 was actually saving the file in PES format and the file was fine. It opens with PEDesign. I have tried several different PES versions and they all cause the shut down. I tried 3 other file formats and none of them causes the shut down. Has anyone had this happen?

I know I am asking a lot of questions today but I haven't taken time to ask each time a problem crops up.

Thanks,
