Happily dancing along with my new very powerful computer thinking 1 gig of ram and an 8gig partition for scratch area will make Painter 7 soar and I get an "Insufficient Memory to Complete Operation" message after just tickling an image.
It's a memory management thing with Windows XP Pro and from what I read I have to make some for of adjustment as mentioned in this post from another forum:
"Something that might factor in is a weird issue for people using an OS based on the NT kernel, like Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Certain programs give a strange memory issue message, saying that there is not enough memory to run the application. This makes no sense, as all the people that have run into this have over 1GB of RAM. I could not run Fontographer 4.1, and someone else here got that message running Painter 6. The answer I discovered in a News Group was to lower the Virtual Memory in the Paging File to under 1GB. I set mine to 900MB, and suddenly, Fontographer 4.1 worked. This worked as a solution for the Painter 6 person, as well. I have no clue if any of this will help your Gremlin Pixels Issue, but, it might be something to keep in mind. I hope someone else can provide a definitive answer for you. This computer stuff is so frustrating."
Trouble is Windows XP Pro is like Greek to me and I have no idea what a paging file is or where it is. The help files for XP are monumentally difficult for me to use.
Help!
Thanks in advance.
