Re: FLASH: Crashing Flash ...Help Please

[Ben Park]

OK - this message is, a few days old, so it's probably been answered by now.


Anyway - when I installed the Director Demo, it wouldn't run and displayed a

similar error.


What I noticed, is that as I have 2 hard drives in my machine, 1 of which is

partitioned, Windows had changed itself back to use the C drive as the

virtual memory drive. This is the default setting.


This wouldn't work, as my c drive is always full.

So I set it to the d drive (which had about 200mb free), and Director runs

fine.

I know I set this back to D a few months ago, so something must have

switched it back to the C drive.


Anyway - if you have two drives, try that.

You can change it by going Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> The double

click "System" -> Go to Performance -> Now click the "virtual memory"

button.

In here, click "let me specify my own settings" and change it to the drive

with the most space left on it (it lists all drives and how much space they

have free!)

Then go ok, and ok, (Windows will give you some stupid message about the

fact that it knows best, and you shouldn't change the settings - I'll tell

you now - AOL users are probably better at choosing the drive with the most

space - Windows always seems to pick the C drive, even if it is completely

full. It will also tell you that by changing the settings "system

performacne may be degraded" - like it could be much worse than it is now...

.....and restart


Try that and see if it works....
