    This is a new area for me so bear with me.

    I have a program called Digimax Master that came with my Samsung Digital Camera. I use it a lot to edit photos. I've noticed, though, that when I am in there and doing a lot of editing everything starts to drag and I need to get out and then go back into the program. I've even had to reboot the computer a few times. Talking with my brother, he mentions that I should change my virtual memory. I did some research on it to better understand it but now I don't know what is the best change to make. I need some input. I have a Vista 2 GB memory. My virtual memory is automatically set to 2328 MB. I don't know how much minimum and maximum to set in my settings. The formula confuses me. :confused: It would be nice to have enough room to edit photos without it dragging on me.

    Thanks for any and all input.

    :)

    Try a fixed size pagefile - set max/min to 3000 Mb

    Thanks. I changed the INITIAL SIZE and MAX SIZE to 3000. I seem to be able to do more before it slows down. The program did jam up on me a little and I still have to reboot the program, but I think it helped. I know I probably should just get some more RAM for this thing. Thanks for all the tips.

    :)
