You don't allocate virtual memory to an application in Windows, that's Mac OS 9 speak. Windows dynamically allocates virtual memory as needed. This default behaviour works pretty well when running most applications, but not when running Poser. If Windows needs to expand the swapfile, Poser must wait too long for the memory it requested and crashes. If you increase the minimum size of the swapfile, Windows probably won't need to expand it, and Poser will keep on working. You can change the minimum and maximum amount of virtual memory by right-clicking the My Computer icon, Properties, tab Advanced. Click the Settings button in the Performance frame, click the tab Advanced, now you can set new minimum and maximum values for the swap file. Recommended minimum size is 1.5 times physical RAM, if you're low on RAM (less than 512 MB) you'd better choose a higher number. Maximum size should be equal or greater than minimum size. A tip; if you have more than one physical disk, then set a swapfile on each disk. Windows will determine which swapfile is fastest and try to use that one when swapping out some memory (and this happens quite often, several times per second on a system that's low on memory!). Hope this helps, Steven.
