Holly,
I'm very glad you got the problem fixed!
You've also pointed out something that I've been putting off doing...upgrading my RAM. I only have 512M, and I'm running XP / SP2 with X3. I've started doing some of the routine cleanup stuff, like getting rid of programs that I don't use (some big ones!), and defragging the hard drive.
Looks like it's time to dust off the ol' wallet...

And I recently upgraded to 512Mb. I guess I live in the past.
I was shocked when switching from 128Mb to 512Mb that WinXP then used about 350Mb for the operating system and took far longer to boot due to the extra RAM.
Windows always was a pig, but XP is a champion pig.
P.S. I do run X3 with some other programs simultaneously with no apparent problems yet. Maybe I am just lucky. Hope I did not just jinx it.

I hope not, too.
I just ordered another Gig of RAM for each of my systems (I'm only running 512M on each now). Maybe that will help a little with my speed problems.
Now if only MY memory could be enhanced...

I had a pithy reply ready, but forgot what I was going to say.

You guys are too much!
I bit the bullet and upgraded to a gig of RAM which is the max my laptop will allow. I tend to shut down/restart apps all day rather than leave them running - which is probably not helping the memory issue. I'm definitely seeing a difference in performance and/or response time. It's a heck of a lot faster than with just 512! I had no appreciation for how much a pig XP was until now...

Ha,
Boy! am I with you. My memory is horrible.
I only have 512 in my computer also, and I am running XP and also Corel 12
So far, I am ok, but I will be thinking about adding more memory also.
Have a nice day,

I just added 1GB to my pc at home, and it helped a lot!
Dell sold me 2 sticks of 512MB for my shop pc, but I only have two slots...one of which already had a 512MG stick. So, I have an extra 512 that I can't use. I'm gonna call Dell today to get them to take it back.

When looking for memory, you can purchase from the vendor (Dell, HP, etc) for more $ or you can use www.crucial.com or www.memoryx.com both have very good memory and prices.
