I use Win XP Pro and Adobe CS3. When running Illustrator CS3, I run into "virtual memory" errors(the program locks up and I have to force quit), and can't seem to find a good solution on the webbernet. Any suggestions?

I have my initial set to 1250 and my max set at 2000. Usually by increasing this it will eliminate virtual memory errors.

Have you tried increasing your paging file? No-it's currently at 1440 MB. What would be better? USUALLY, you should allow windows to manage your page file itself. however if you're managing the paging file yourself, in the past the rule of thumb was that your paging file should be twice your memory. If you have 1GB memory, you would have a 2GB paging file. |

If you have 1GB memory, you would have a 2GB paging file. No need to yell brother. I am always learning. Windows picks your paging file by default. By increasing it does usually eliminate the virtual memory errors. I have done that in the field for years. What happens when you only have 512mb of memory. Have never tried letting windows manage anything. Never heard of the rule of twice your memory. Is that for the initial or the maximum? |

The 2 times memory rule used to be a rule of thumb years ago and is largely outdated, especially if windows manages the size of the paging file. But it's based on your total installed memory. If you have 512MB installed, your paging file would have been 1GB. I've heard the same rule with 1.5 times the memory, but when I used to apply it I used 2 times. |

I am a technician. I usually just figure out what works. Not always sure why it works. Plus I know you have a sense of humor......

There is however another form of semi virtual ram,that plays like ram:)
There is a program for winXP that boosts your ram. It will part out a piece of your hard drive, usb thumb drive, ext hard drive and use it like ram.
