Thanks to all for your suggestions, leads, ideas, etc. I have noticed, re my
problem, that if I open 3D GL first and then create the image, I don't have
any difficulty.
Frankly, if what I have in the way of hd and ram isn't enough, I need fewer
apps, not more space to put them. But that's a personal reaction and has
nothing to do with anything other than my own feelings.
Thanks again.

The best way to get more RAM is to go out and buy it.. RAMboosters take more.

Go to http://www.crucial.com to ascertain memory type required..
Messages reporting 'low on memory' more often than not are reporting lack of
pagefile and/or hard disk space.. clean up your system.. run DiskCleanup,
most likely found in your 'accessories - system tools' folder.. if you have
set a pagefile size, go back and set it for 'Windows managed'.. if you have
altered the pagefile size because you are running out of space, you need to
buy a larger hard drive along with the memory..

After more than a decade on Macs, I've moved over to Windows,
particularly
for some of the fractal rendering programs. That's where I've run into a
problem that I can't figure a solution to.
In using Chaospro, under 3D in open GL mode, nine out of ten times, I get
a
message telling me that I'm out of memory and offering three suggestions.
The first, and the one I'd like to follow up on, is to increase the swap
file
size--the rest of the message say System Configuration/System. When I
finally tracked something like that down, the options I saw didn't seem
to
solve my problem, but they certainly looked as if I'd run into more if I
touched anything, so I was outta there.
It was relatively easy dealing with that kind of problem on the Mac:
highlight the app, go to information, increase memory size. Is there
something similar in Windows XP?
I was also told I could close open programs, but I didn't seem to have
any.
Finally, we got into partitions, something I never messed with. Two
choices
there:move to a different partition or remove (or move, I guess) things
that
are on the same partition as Chaospro.
As I said, none of that seems to help me. I'm an old dog, and this is a
new
trick. Anyone able to help?
Thank you.
