Hi Dave,
I am not sure what exactly is going on...can you open Works up when the
cards are removed?
Deleting Works actually should not remove the offending file (I think...). I
believe the file is actually in a storage "soup"--go into Extras and open up
the "Storage" folder (you may have it already opening to the "Unfiled"
folder) and you should see a bunch of file vault looking icons. Opening up
the Works storage vault should show you what you have in there (and whether
it is stored internally, or on a cord).
I'm not a big fan of deleting stuff unless you know nothing else will work
(or you have a recent back up).
I'm not aware of any limit to a file size in Works, although 3.2mb sounds a
bit large. Can you open anything else up?
I'm guessing from the amount of memory you are reporting that you have a
MP2100--maybe you are running out of heap memory when you try to open up the
large file.
Maybe try emptying out the storage before doing a hard reset...
