Out of Memory

[Guest]

I have 2 computers and they both have 1gb of memory. On both computers i open
up a 500 page pdf fine. When i try to save the pdf on the one computer it
saves it fine but one the other computer when i try to save the pdf it gives
me this error message "out of memory". when i look how much memory is being
used it says 1.64gb and the computer runs very slow odviously since it is
using virtual memory. why does it save fine on the one computer but not the
other when they both have 1 gb memory

Turn off uneeded programs/ applications to free up memory. Ctrl-Alt-Delete,
Applications-End Task.

Windows allocates a stack of memory for programs on startup. it has
nothing to do with how much memory you have. Once this stack is full
you will get an out of memory error.

As mention'd when you get that type of error start shutting down
unneeded programs.

Are the virtual memory paging file settings the same on both
computers?

Yes they both have the same settings for virtual memory

You don't happen to have Fat32 on the one that fails?

Perhaps clearing the temporary internet file folder will cure it?
