Well, I have 1.5 Gig of RAM and a 2800 computer so I don'
think that's the limitation. It's wierd cause I've don
similar work before and I don't remember this being a
problem. I did all the requisite virus checking and such
so I think there may be a limitation within windows
regarding how many windows can be open at a time. Each of
these programs have myriad too pallettes. Thanks for the
help though!
