  • why does my copy of signlab not have the undo facility?

    we are running signlab 5 on windows 2000 and we have just installed a new computer which is runnung xp home..i have installed signlab 5 but there are no undo available..
    we had the same problem once in windows 2000 and the problem was sorted out by changing the virtual memory settings but i am having no joy with changing the settings on xp….
    could it be that signlab 5 is too an old a version to run on xp??????

    If i remember correctly, the problem was something to do with having more than 512mb of system RAM.

    The way you described your solution is correct. If that doesn`t work and assuming you have 1gb of RAM, try removing one of the 512mb chips and trying that?.

    Is this no undo available at all or no undo available on previously saved jobs? if the latter, you’ll need to copy the undo files to your new system too, when you save a file it will create another file along side it as an undo.

    I think this problem has to do with the fact that physical RAM + Virtual Memory exceeds 2 GB. The only workaround without removing RAM from the system is to reduce Windows virtual memory to under 1 GB so that the sum of the two does not exceed 2 GB RAM.

    Newer versions of Signlab do not exhibit this problem.

    Cheers!
