SW2004 memory problem
SW2004 memory problem
(OP)
Hello,
I've got a problem with Solidworks 2004 opening a large assembly (abt 3500 parts) with the large assembly mode.
I got a message "not enough space memory for SW application" and then it crashes.
I have 1GB RAM, and 10GB virtual memory, and nothing else runing at the same time. When it crashes, only 500MB of the total memory are used.
I have a graphic card Nvidia Gforce FX 5300 with 128MB RAM. So I don't think it's a performance problem. But maybe a WinXP pro config problem.
Maybe you have an idea abt that...
Thanx
Cédric, FRANCE

RE: SW2004 memory problem
Try restarting in VGA mode and see if that helps - If so, it's a graphics card problem.
Try it on another machine to see if you or they get the same result.
Try a new driver or maybe an older one might help.
Otherwise:
I would try reinstalling SW.
Did you have your AV turned off when installing? If you did and upgrade than un-install & re-install per my FAQ559-488
Turn off all other apps when installing.
Don't do an upgrade do a new installation. If you did and upgrade than un-install & re-install per my FAQ559-488
Turn off all other programs when running SW, and see if that helps.
Try making a new login account and see if that helps.

RE: SW2004 memory problem
Why so much virtual memory??
Try reducing your virtual memory to 1.5 or 2GB. Windows cannot allocote any more than 2GB to any single process anyway (3GB with some special tweaks), so there is no need for such large amounts of virtual memory.
I have tested this in the past and it stopped 'out of memory' errors for me.
