With 3gig of RAM installed you don't need virtual RAM and you certainly
should not get an out of memory error message with 3 gigs of RAM.

Virutal RAM is when your computer uses hard drive space to create more
memory. See here for more info:

Sorry if I was not of any help on your problem. Have you check the Quicken

Sometimes error messages are not precise as to their underlying
cause. In fact, you could have 1000 times as much memory as
this poster has ... and still get a message that a program was
"out of memory". It could be caused by a programming bug, or it
could be caused by data corruption ... but the message could
occur no matter how much memory you have available.

I meant to say, " ... and still have a program literally run out
of memory ...". (And get the message that the program was "out
of memory".)

John and Laura - Thanks for your efforts. I'm back to the drawing
board to figure this out. I'll check out the boards you suggest,
Laura. Bill

Data corruption was going to be my next guess but I don't know how to fix
that problem, do you?
