corel increasing memory help please
Ello Everyone…. thanks for taking a mo to look at this…im sure the answer is simple but I dont know how…
I am getting this error message….
Virtual memory is running low.
Please free up some memory by
increasing the amount of free disk space by on the swapfile drive or
increasing the virtual memory limit in windows system properties settings….I know I have plenty of memory on my c drive and tonnes and tonnes of memory elsewhere…
how do I go about what it is required???
much thankness

Have a look here Cheryl, I think Phil Barnfield’s advice worked for me.

Nope…I did change the carpet and hung a few picturs though 😀 😀

When Corel starts misbehaving a F8 restart with default workspace normally clears things. Save workspace first if customised. Not seen a virtual memory message for years though.

Hi…seems to be going okay…no idea why this started messing…ive loads and loads of memory….now ive had to sacrifice my lovely blue settings in xp 🙁

Can you not set to default (blue) in the Appearance tab ?
Control Panel>Display>Appearance> default(blue)
Should fix it. -
I think it is corel playing up as Alan says…It is shutting down saying something like abnormal termination or something….gunna do the F8 thing and try that…put everything back to how it was before…..
I LIKE blue!! -
Im just going to uninstall and reinstall stupid Corel…. (:) (:) (:) (:)
im not all mad or anything…
Just being mature about it 🙄 -

funny….corel isnt on my add or remove programs list…….. 😮

I think if you install it again it will overwrite anything that is there Cheryl. Something has gone pearshaped if it isn’t showing.

I assume F8 restart of Corel didin’t work. An uninstall and reinstal is a last resort.

To be honest Alan…I dont know how to do a F8 restart!

put yer fingy on f8 when corel is starting
doing an F8 restart of Draw. Make sure Draw is closed, hold down the f8 key and keep it down while you restart Draw. Keep it down until you get an option to reset Draw to factory defaults.Peter

As Peter says. The workspace in Corel gets corrupted sometimes, difficult to say by what but I notice it mainly after importing files from others that have repeatably crashed Draw.
The symptom is usually Draw failing to import some other file types or just generally miss behaving – things just not working as expected.
Solution is to restart Draw with F8 pressed and accepting factory defaults when prompted.
Draw has the feature of being able to add your features you use all the time onto the toolbar on the left or/and on the top bar thus saving having to goto options which maybe under tabs. This customised workspace can be saved/exported, obviously you would lose this with an F8 start but it can be reloaded afterwards providing it was saved first. Same applies to any custom paletts. Macros which have an icon on your toolbar will be saved but shortcuts to them will not.
Hope this clarifies.
