      Good Day all,
      When dealing with a model that is too big.... I more times than not, I run into an "out of memory" when trying to save. What is this caused by? The program, not enough RAM, to slow or not enough cores in the processor? I sort of understand these things at a really basic level, but not enough to know if the out of memory problem can be addressed by upgrades, or that i'll have to wait and make a careful choice of hardware when buying a new laptop in the distant future?
      Thanks to all for you great advice!
      Mattee

        Hi Matte, it means you RAM is saturated:( How much RAM do you have?

          I'm only running 16 Meg. This machine is fine but a few strange things happen now and then. Not sure if it's too hot from long hours of use. It usually happens late in the day? Hasn't happened for a while. Might also been a "Too Big" file I was playing with a few weeks ago?
