Title: Solid Models: freeze/fatal error
Post by: cad-waulader on June 15, 2005, 03:55:54 PM: Hello all. Anybody have trouble with 2000 when working with solid models? I do...get freezes and fatal errors all the time. maybe i'm doing something wrong, but I can't imagine what. panning and rotating models is a great way to crash. Co-worker's computer does the same thing with 2000. appreciate any input.

Post by: Anonymous on June 15, 2005, 05:32:52 PM: OK. I'm not real computer savvy, but here's what I know:
"PentiumIII" (From sticker on front of computer!)
"392,740 KB RAM" available, as read from Control panel>System>General tab
"Virtual memory: 576 MB total paging file size for all drives" as read from Control panel>System>Advanced>Performance Options tab.
That help?

I'm running a P4, 2.4Ghz, 1.5Gb RAM machine with Virtual memory set at 1024Mb, and it's just enough for our bigger files (100Mb)
