DavidJPotter Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I am guesing that you are using a laptop and as such there is little you can do other than eventually upgrade to a more modern, expensive PC or Mac. The problem with most laptops is shared memory for the video card. For best performance you need a video card with 2-3 Gb of VRAM built into the video card (not shared as you currently have). I realize that the above is not very useful in terms of a solution but it probably the truth of the matter. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 you should probably Contact Tech Support about this rather than the Forum, did you check the Knowledgebase? http://support.homedesignersoftware.com/ you could also check your Virtual Memory is setup correctly and there is space for it on your hard drive M.

KhryssEmyrielle Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 i'm using desktop computer. i had contacted the support and their suggestion is to change my system to 64 bit, which i think will cost me more because i had to change my processor and operating system and all of my other programs installed in my computer are running in 32 bit so i think it will be costly. will it resolve the issue if i upgrade my 3GB RAM to 6GB? thank you, Engr.

KhryssEmyrielle Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 may i ask the steps on how to set up virtual memory? and do's and dont's about it. thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Most of my software programs are also 32 bit but a 64 bit PC will easily run 32 or 64 bit programs easily. A 64 bit PC or Mac has hardware designed to run 32 or 64 bit applications. will it resolve the issue if i upgrade my 3GB RAM to 6GB? No, in that Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 x 32 will only use a maximum of 3Gb of system RAM, one would have to have a modern, 64 bit operating system to use more than 3Gb. may i ask the steps on how to set up virtual memory? and do's and dont's about it. thank you again.

Kbird1 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 If you can upgrade to Windows 7 64bit then the extra 3 GB of Ram will help all programs , all your other software should run fine as 64 bit Windows will run 32bit software too, no problem.

Kbird1 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 virtual memory links , usually it is set about 1.5X your real memory size (ram) but Windows often sets it equal by default.... http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/change-virtual-memory-size#1TC=windows-vista http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/132201-virtual-memory-paging-file-change.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY1P91GYLzI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
