Have you tried the Windows 3gb Switch?

I tried use 3GB, but didn´t import file.

 

Appears following mensage:

 

"Out of memory. Please free some memory, then choose retry".

 

Look the image in

There is other way?

Sounds like you need some more memory. The /3GB switch will optimize the memory that you have. If you are using it and STILL getting out of memory errors, its time to invest in more memory. Stick as much mem in the box as you can fit.

 

For what its worth, my opinion is that memory is one of the most important facets to a quality engineering computer....

 

See in the photo how much page file you are using. That is esentially your hard drive acting as memory overflow. Its a TON slower and once its full, your are screwed. You may want to try to increase the pagefile size, but that will likely only delay your "out of memory" error (unless you were close to finishing).

Ok!

 

I´m going try open file in native software and cut file (decrease size) and try open again.

 

If i don´t work file, i´ll place more memory because already did procedure 3GB.

 

 

 

Thank´s a lot.
