memory problems

[beaker]

What version are you running? I remember sometime that there was a bug where AE wouldn't start if you had 2 gig of ram in your system.

well, now it seems ok but i hope it wont occur again

[implicit]

shite, its still happening.

do you think it has something to do with 2gb of ram?

that would be a real shame adobe!!!

i never came a cross to a software who has problems with "too much" of ram...

thats for macosx, i'm on pc. is there something like that for pc? or can i apply the same to pc?

I think, that this is a problem of the operating system, too. I had AE 5.5 running on a Win 98 machine with 512 MB RAM. The strange thing was that I had less of these "§39 7()" - errors (does anyone has an idea what the heck this means) when I had only 256 MB RAM installed. Now I have it running on a XP professional operating system with something like 383 MB RAM and only have a few out-of-memory-messages(while working on half size, half resolution with DV-Pal material) and not a single "§39 (7" - error.
Sometimes it's just enuff to empty the screen-cache, when I have to render I queue the same task multiple times in the render list and I ALWAYS render into single frames.

I dont know what your project is like, but that sounds like something you'll get when you have a very large comp, or trying to load an enormous image..

Maybe commiting to disk some of your layers and effects might help you out, because it sounds just like what Opacity said.

[implicit]

no, it's not even a complex composition. 2 or 3 layers and about 15s long. i never had these problems before. but on this new machine with 2gb of ram. and i really dont want to take ram out of it. its a huge pity that the only software is after effects having these problems.

Maybe you could check this link :

and this one :

It's about system with large amount of RAM.

If you do this, I recommend you to leave this original line in the boot init to avoid crash.

Hope it help you.
