if you have a gig of memory it's probebly a software eror,
maybe there is some update that will help?

by the way whats your virtual memory size.
 
out of memory error fixed

:) :) thanks very much !!! altered page file size works fine now

regards bloker
 
bloker...realy glad that helped, now, I'd love to know what the original settings were, and what you wound up setting it too.

I believe your situation exemplifies why the page file should never be set static...you couldn't have run out of memory, if expansion was enabled...

even if you wound up increasing the page file, make sure that expansion is enabled.

also, since it's obvious you did increase the page file sixe, use the little proggy I posted on the free programs thread to defrag the page file.

once it's defragged, it'll remain defragged, and you won't ever have to do it again.

please post your original settings, and what you wound up with ...tanx

dealer hi
the initial size size was 1536mb with the maximum size set at 3072mb both of which was set by windows based on my ram.

i have now actually reduced initial size to 512mb and kept maximium at 3072mb this allows windows to adjust if so required.

what is the defrag prog about ?

You have to be careful with programs like that - the calcuations need are memory hogs (as you problay know ;) ). And the chew up the processer time.

well holy fujizty...I'm amzed lowering the page file minimum helped...I'm thinking if you reset it back to the default, the program will run fine...possbly some glich in your page file, but I can't figure this one out

as far as the defrag program...xp cannot defrag the page file, as it's in use during the defrag...this program defrags the page file on boot...

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
