Re: FLASH: Memory Problems

[Andrew Le Sage]

I am not a 2000 user I use NT4 as a rule however I am using a laptop right

now what is win 98 but they are all the same. You do not allocat memory to a

program in windows. What you need to do is increase the size of you virtal

memory. I am not sure what the specs are for 2000. With the others unless

you have 512mb that best way to start, or at least so I am told is to take

the amount of ram and times it by 3. Make that the size of you virtual

memeory. To find it, again I am not sure about 2000. But if you have a

control pannel it will be in there under System then you are looking for a

tab that says performance or something like that. You will find a button

that says Virtual Memory. You will see your drives listed and a star size

and a maximum size. Set them the same for the drive that has you page file

probably C if you have another drive you can put some VM on that too. Reboot

if you still get the same problem reinstall Flash, if you still get the same

thing hit the PC with a hammer then buy a new one, well forget the hammer

but get some more Ram. I have had this with NT4 on a Dual CPU with 512mb of

Ram. God knows why. I just reboot if it happens, it is not usually flash but

sometimes something does it. I think that some programs or system resorces

are not very good at giving back the memory after you close them. Also you

must ensure that you have sufficient hard drive space for your VM. if your

HD is full the system will have nowhere to write the stuff to disk.


Thant is about all I have ever had to do, but I could be wrong.
