Tom,
Your symptoms are highly indicative of an out of date QASF file. How
many copies of QASF.DLL are on your computer. The one in my "Registered
DLL's" is both out of date (version 5) and NOT used. The one that is used is
in the System32 directory and that is Version 9.
Your Pagefile should be 1.5 times the amount of RAM as described on
Microsoft's site.. Any more is a waste of resources.
The Desktop is simply another directory with a visual interface.
Changing Temp to desktop could result in a desktop overpopulated with Icons.
The amount of hard drive space, not allowing for the space taken by any
temporary files, is quite low. 7GB would give you a file of approx. 32
minutes in theory, in practice it could be less than half of that.
Best Wishes.....John Kelly

I've been using it exclusively for quite some time and have become totally
dependent upon it. Now I am getting the typical message about checking the
amount of drive space, source files, etc. I checked them and all was fine. I
read on the Microsoft site about increasing the page file and that also was
no help. I tried reinstalling it, and again, same error message. I read just
about everything on Papajohn's site and again, nothing worked. I would even
be happy about going back MM1 to see if that works. I couldn't find on the
XP disc the folder that was mentioned. And when I type in the DOS commands,
I got an error message about no destination file being found. I went back to
the Microsoft site and downloaded codecs and just about everything else I
could find. I even changed the TEMP folderto the desktop.

formatting my hard drive (which I absolutely can't do), I have no clue what
else to do.

could donwload and purchase.
