Dell Laptop D830 - WF2 memory issue

[SoilentG]

Hi, I recently got hired to a company that bought me a Dell D830 Latitude (not an M series

) and these are the specs:


Dell Latitude D830


Core 2 Duo 1.8MHz


2GByte RAM


Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M 512MByte RAM


The problem I'm having is I can't open assemblies that take my memory over 2.5GByte. I've allocated a4GByte static paging file and if my total memory exceeds 2.5GByte WF2 (M180) drops out (dies) and in std.out I get the message:


Serious error - out of virtual memory. Starting recovery attempt.


Exception - code was -1073741819.


and here's a picture of the Virtual Memory peaking at 2.50GByte:

Does this really appear to be a lack of memory issue? I've not had any other instabilities and WF2 will work for days straight as long as I keep the memory usage low by "Erasing not Displayed", etc.


Thanks...

You've hit the limit of RAM usage for a 32 bit process. Do a search on these forums for "3GB switch" or something similar and it will show you how you can increase the amount of RAM Pro/E has access to. It will bea bit more but if you need a lot more you'll have to switch to a 64 bit version of windows.

thanks for your reply. That was the main issue...
