When attempting to open photodeluxe home edition 4.0 I am getting errors Could not complete your request because there is not enough ram.

This PC is an P4 2.4 GHZ with 1 Gig of memory running Windows NT 4.0 SP6A.

Any ideas??

I also just got Windows XP and when I try to open PhotoDeluxe I get the error message "There is not enough memory (RAM) to launch PhotoDeluxe" I tried the compatability wizard but I still couldn't make it work. Is there any hope. Please e-mail me at Alta...@aol.com.

I just loaded photodeluxe on an win xp system that I just built with 1 gig of memory and I too get this message.

Surprisingly enough, I tried loading the program on my win xp notebood that has 256 mb of memory and it works. Go figure?

Anyone with a solution can email me at fant...@sc.rr.com

I have windows 2000 professional, 2.5 gigs of DDR RAM and 1.25 GHz AMD Athlon processor, and Premiere won't launch due to Insufficient RAM!!!

Is there a solution to this yet?

I get the same message. It started after adding 512MB of RAM to my existing 512MB of RAM. I'm running WinXP, 2.5GHz Pent, 32MB nvidia video card, and 1GB RAM. Do you have any other Adobe programs on your system also? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't have a solution yet but I'm beginning to suspect something from what I'm reading here. My experience is that all the machines I have run photodeluxe on have had 512mg or less of memory. From what I'm reading here, those of us that are having this problem are now running machines with more than 512 mb of ram. Has anybody else noticed this and where do we go from here

ATTENTION:
After much trial & error, I solved the problem on my machine. Here is how I did it.

-Went to control panel & selected systems
-Selected the advanced tab, went to the performance section and selected settings
-Selected the advanced tab, went to the virtual memory section and selected change
-Selected the custom settings and upped the initial setting to 4000mb and the max setting to 4095 mb. and hit set
-Closed out of the programs & restarted the computer. After this, the program ran.

You all let me know if this works for you

I just installed Photo Deluxe 4.0 and can't get it to print multiple pictures with the message"There is not enough free space on the hard drive which contains your system folder to print the current multiple image..." of course many of you have seen this message, its in the archives with no answer" and its not valid cause we all have large drives and more than enough memory. Does anyone have an answer, does anyone from Adobe monitor this message board and help those who purchase their product?

David, I will preface this by saying you may become somewhat of a folk hero!!

I had a new machine built a couple months ago, p4, 120 gig harddrive, 1 gig ram, intel 845 chippe chipset. ex pro, And as much as I loved my pd 2.0 for quick easy editing on the fly, couldn't get it to work.

I had xp home on the previous computer and had no problem with pd 2.0 but with the newest version of xp pro and probably using a different file type instead of the fat system I couldn't even open the program. I was getting the following error message "Unable to load PSUT9532.dll. Photo deluxe will not be able to support 16 bit plug ins. Continue Launching?" If i said yes to continue, I'd get the "not enough ram" message. Today I did what you suggested and while i still get the "unable to load....." message, when i click on continue it works........YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE

the idiots over at Adobe won't give out this info to anyone I guess.

My questions to you....what does changing the virtual memory settings do other then making PD 2.0 work, will that screw up any of my other programs or operations of my pc

and is there anyway to get rid of that "unable to load....." box that comes up..

I am forever indepted to you....DAVE ROCKS

Lisa

didn't investigate the unable to load problem since I don't have it. The virtual memory chang has no adverse impact that I can tell
