Grrrrr....Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0

[cowdog77]

Working on a project with a lot of video and having problems with "low memory " messages. When I get the message, I generally save the project, exit, and then reboot. When working in the project there aren't any significant slow downs....goes pretty smooth.

I've already:
run all my videos thru Virtual Dub
reduced the size of stills in Adobe Photoshop
turned off firewall when in project
turned off screen saver
emptied cache
moved a lot of big folders to alternate drive
rendered often
set the # of auto backups to 1
performed defrag and scan disc before opening project
etc. etc. etc.

I have 218g free space on my working drive and dual processorsIntel Pentium (R) D CPU 3.00 GHz - 2.00 GB ram).

Any other suggestions would be appreciated~

Take a look at the processes that are running sometimes a program is running in the back ground without you knowing and eating up alot of resources.
If not maybe an increase in memory would help. I just ordered components to assemble my own computer with 8 gigs of ram
Good luck

Both good tips....I'll try shutting down any unnecessary processes and look into getting more ram. Thanks~
