Help understanding an error

Hello all,
I am in a simple situation with an error that doesn't tell you a whole lot. I have a plot that I want to save as a jpeg image. I get this error.
But I was able to save it as a .fig file but not any other graphics file. I also tried printing directly, which also works (so apparently no problem with the print driver or even perhaps windows printing services)!
I would appreciate any help/comments/try-this.
Thanks

I find a hint that it might be memory shortage: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/117052

You might check our FAQ: http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_save_my_figure.2C_axes.2C_or_image.3F_I.27m_having_trouble_with_the_built_in_MATLAB_functions.
Questions about saving figures are the most commonly asked questions since it never seems to go right, that's why export_fig is far and away the most download File Exchange submission. It may well solve your problem if it's not some hardware issue like not enough RAM. As long as your figure fits on your screen I doubt that it should be a memory issue. I use export_fig all the time to save entire screenshots as PNG format files (which you probably should also) with no problem, and jpg files take up less space than PNG files (at the cost of a poorer image).
