Stephen,

I do not have any Norton related programs on my computer. I use AVG for anti-virus. I have tried starting Vegas first after a reboot. I have tried after being on for a while…doesn’t matter at what stage I try, I get the same error.

I turned off SuperFetch earlier today and that gave me plenty of free RAM but still…error. Cranked up the Virtual Memory setting, still no go. I have unistalled and reinstalled Vegas a couple of times as well (deleting the registry keys after uninstalling). I’ll look into disabling some more services and see if I have any luck.

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip John. I tried it, unfortunately it did not work. 🙁

I disabled the Superfetch feature, I know have 2 gigs of free ram in the Physical Memory but am still getting the low memory error when I try to launch Vegas. Restarted and tried again to no avail.

Thanks for the reply. I restored Vegas to defaults (even though I have never successfully opened it) and that did not solve the problem. My CPU usage is next to nothing, no unusual spiking going on.

Now on to memory…I thought Vista allocated as much RAM as it possibily could, unlike other OS’s? I’m not too knowledgeable on the subject, but, this article might explain it.

I have very little “free” memory available in the Physical Memory, nowhere near 1 gig. But, the way I understand it…this is how Vista operates. I don’t know how I would ever get Vegas to run in that case, but, Premiere Pro and AE are running no problem.

On a clean reboot with no programs running, I have gone into the Performance section of the Taskbar and just watched Vista suck the free Memory right down to a few dozen mb’s. Initially I have plenty of free RAM but it gets sucked away without starting any programs. At first I thought this was a virus or something, but I have none that is being found, cleaned up the registry, checked for spyware, etc…all good on those fronts.

I guess I will try to find a free memory test and see if that’s the problem. I don’t get why I can use Premiere CS3 and AE CS3 with no problems but Vegas won’t even load…
