"unable to create temporary file, possibly out of disk space"

    Do you have a long path to your project file, the path should be short and best is all directories are less than 8 characters without spaces etc to be DOS compliant.

    If the long path is not the problem, may be you have one of the following issues:

    1. One reason why this error occurs is that user has restricted or no access to the USERLOC directory (by default: P3OUT). Provide full access to this directory.

    2. Another reason why this error may occur is that the USERLOC directory is not valid, out of disk space or is over the user’s quota. Confirm that the USERLOC directory exists or create more available space by either deleting unnecessary files or increasing user’s quota. To determine the location of the USERLOC directory, go to Start, Run and enter P3.INI.

    3. If the above solutions do not resolve the problem, create a new directory on a drive where the user has both access and enough disk space, then reassign the USERLOC variable in the P3.INI file to the new location.

    4. If the error still persists, replace the USERFIL.P3 file.
