Suninfrance Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I always used Photoshop on my old PC but it won't load on my new one despite having Windows XP and zillions of space on it still. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Have you exceeded your license? What happens when you try to load it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 It says, and I quote "this program requires at least 3MB of virtual memory to run". I am told I can re-adjust a setting to accept it, but in words of someone who is on this site I believe "Intel Inside, Idiot Outside". So if you know the answer please remember you are talking to a complete computer numpty [:D] [:$] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Ah - I've no idea of how to do that, as Macs do it automatically.Someone will be along in a minute!Yes - it's a cute kitten, but rather cheeky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 OK - thanks - I'll watch this space [:D]He is a cutie. From having no cats to wanting one, I got two and now I have six. Two domestics (Harley & Davy) and 4 wild (Missy - mum cat - Boysey, Marlene and Podge - identical triplets). Podge is the only one who stays in while Davy and the other kits go hunting, tree climbing and general mischief making together. Davy and the kits in photo forum under pets.

The System Properties window opens. Click the Advanced tab. Find the Performance group box. Click the Settings button. The Performance Options window opens. Click the Advanced tab. The amount of Virtual Memory you are using is displayed near the bottom of the window. Click the Change button. The Virtual Memory window opens, whichlists each drive on the computer and how much Virtual Memory you haveon each drive. Try initial settings of Initial: 400 and Maximum: 768. Click Set. Click OK. Close the windows [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 See, I said someone would know!We don't have any cats any more, it wouldn't be fair as we are away so much, though I'd love one or two. We get visited by the neighbours semi-wild cats in France, but they are very jittery and at least one seems to have been badly knocked about - run over, I imagine. They enjoy the fact that we often eat outdoors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dago Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hi Jan, you could try letting the system decide the sizes by clicking that selection, may work...I have to go out right now but I will look in later and you may have had some more advanced help by then, if not I will continue to search for a solution for you.[:)] Good luckbest regards[IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hi Jan, it seems that this is not a new problem, as I found thishttp://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=303It seems to be pretty easy to follow if you'd like to try it, but do make a system restore point beforehand.

Suninfrance Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 Director Player 5.0 is what needs the 3MB of virtual memory.Tried letting the system decide, but still no luck I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dago Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hi Jan, I have found this, I downloaded the file and have scanned it everyway I can for nasties and found it to be clean, the company BDAG produces e-books and is Welsh I think so you need to be wary knowing some of the guys on this forum..[;-)][:D]http://www.b-dag.com/support.html?cat=romuald&id=virtmemPlease set a restore point before you run it, I know it refers to Director 6 but it still may help with your problem, worth a try? Good Luckbest regards[IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g130/dago49/Dago3.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
