This is an elusive problem.  What is probably happening is your TEMP drive 
doesn't have enough room for TWO copies of the image.  Paintbrush has a
bug that incorrectly states which drive it is trying to put the temp files on.
It needs space for two copies: one to edit and one for undo.

Hope this solves the problem.
