     Excuse me Jack, I ran with a system that had 4mb ram( 2of that borrowed 

     Then I bought Warp 3, and I had 8mb, and I never had an "Out of Memory"
     error either.
     Now I run Warp 4 with 32mb, so I was a little surprised to get that 
     message, especially when I didn't have any programs running and only
     klicked on the System Object to look at the Video driver settings.
     Which I stated in my original post.
     And you're right it's pretty crazy just trying to find out what memory
     is and isn't being used in a complex multi-tasking system, but I thought
     there had to be a way.
 
     After the amount of trouble I've had with Warp since I bought it, I was 
     almost at wits end. I'm sure this last round of problems were due to 
     the Video Card driver, as it's settled down since I d/led another one 
from
     the chip manufacturer (Cirrus)  and it's hummin' nicely with no changes
     to swap files or anything !
     Thanks Jack,
     Glenn.
