  Memory Issues

  Posted by Mark Anthony on March 30, 2008 at 4:54 pm

  Hello Everyone!

  When I attempt to render and save my videos to diak, I receive a “virtual memory is low” error message. My current system specs are as follows:

  Intel E6550 2.33Ghz Core2 Duo processor
  4GB of memory
  360Gb SATA Hard Drive
  Page filing set at 3616Mb (System Maintained)
  Windows Vista 32-Bit
  Sony Vegas Studio 8c

  With these specs, I would have thought I wouldn’t receive such a message. I believe I have enough memory and reviewing the system logs, there are not any messages related to Sony Vegas Studio 8c. I have attempted to change the page filing myself and vista throws a caniption fit. So leaving it at system managed is about the only choice I have. What could be the problem?

  Thanks in advance for your help!

  Mark

  If you run Task Manager when Vegas is running how much available RAM do you have? It should show how much virtual, too.

  My suspicion is that some other service is running and you are getting a bogus message.
  Also, is the system recognizing all of the 4GB ram? Do My Computer rt click Properties | main page should show unless Bill changed it.
  As I have not run Vista yet. I’m only guessing from my past expericene in XP.

  Why don’t you search around on Annoyances.com. They get a lot of good techs participating in their discussions.

  Let us know when you come up with a solution.

  Thanks Ken!

  I will check out Annoyances.com and see if there is anything there. As for Vista recognizing all 4Gb of memory…it does not. It only shows 3.5Gb or roughly around that range. I expected that to happen but I figured it would help resolve the vitual memory issue – but it didn’t.

  I will have to view the task manager next time I run the program and see what it says for memory availability.

  Thanks again,

  Mark
