One of those things? Give it a reboot?
Now with improved MIDI jitter!

Memory managers are simply redundant if you use windows XP. Real ram is the only memory you should count on. Virtual memory is no help for audio. Close down all other apps while using your host.

For audio workstations you should set the minimum and maximum size of your page file to the same number. Usually 500MB is enough. Windows will use that page file for it's own processes, freeing up your RAM for audio.

I would let windows manage the swap file itself, ie - system managed size. The values you have set may slow things down. I have 1GB and I have turned off memory mangement. It works well that way for me as I dont use samples.

that is strainge ttoz? 
questions for you?
1)do you have your edits in one project?
for me if i swap projects it seems as if the ram is refreshed before opening the new project
2) has this ever happend before becouse it sounds more like a VERRY VERRY nasty virus!!!!!!
check running prosses & try the trend macro online virus scan! (i may have spelt it incorectly)
3) dose it still happen after rebooting?

No problems since reboot, maybe nuffink was right.
during a single boot i go through up to 30 edits over meny projects & never had this problem
is'nt zone alarm a firewall not a antivirus?

I was getting this as well when I only had 512MB of RAM and was loading fairly large drumkits into Jamstix. I bumped up to 1GB of RAM and set my swap file to a fixed size based on the comments I was reading at MusicXP.net.
Your projects are probably more demanding of RAM than mine are, but I haven't seen this warning since I made the change.

No, bad idea! That is what is contributing to his problem. You should never use that setting on a DAW.UltraJv wrote:I would let windows manage the swap file itself, ie - system managed size.
