OK. I have a pretty nice computer at work. It’s all pretty decent stuff from what i understand, the graphics card alone was like 1500 bucks… When i have inventor open with a pretty detailed dwg, usually w/ firefox and itunes, If i try and open something simple like paint or explore “my computer” nothing happens.
Double clicking “my computer” just brings up the hourglass, then nothing happens. opening paint brings up the error “unable to open empty document”
I have a pair of 2GB sticks of ram, but only 3GB shows up. I tried turning the pagefile off, because i heard that was supposed to help. No luck there. But if i can get task manager to open while the drawing is open, my memory isn’t even close to maxed out. In the screenshots below, on the performance tab, all the spikes were from me trying to open firefox, my computer and paint.
I think XP will only address 3GB, I know we’ve been having that problem here where I work… I’ve got 2GB in a similar computer, and we tried upping someone else to 3 or 4GB and it caused all sorts of problems. My guess it has something to do with that.
