Sijun Forums :: View topic - Painter Classic error:"not enough memory to run "

Hi,

when I try to start Painter CLassic I got this error-msg:
"not enough memory to run painter"-
but I have 1Gig Ram!
I have read, that some ppl with newer PCs have that problem, too.
Running under Windows XP Professionel, SP1
Hm, someone thought, the problem might be the Nvidia drivers, but a change didnt solve the problem.

Btw- Painter 7 runs fine, no problems, but I cannot get the look of the Simple Water Colors from Classic into Painter 7...

Any tips?

well Painter Classic will not run with 1 gig of Ram. Painter 7 fixed this windows problem.
You can limit the size of your page file in windows to get it to open.
check out these links
setting your page file

here is corel's answer from their data base.

This will limit the amount of ram to 512 meg.
So that you can use Painter classic 1 and watercolors of coarse.

thx for the help!
It works, I limited the pagefile to 500 megs and Classic runs.

similar problem, "Insufficient Memory to Complete Operation"
I have 1.5 gigs of ram, should be more than enough,

comes and goes, restarting helps, but after a while it comes back...
any advice??
