| | Posted: | | | | Well, there are some memory restrictions at work here.
For example, what kind of File System are you using on the drive that contains DVDP?
You can find out by right-clicking on the drive in Explorer and chose Properties. The file system will either be FAT32 or NTFS.
The second thing is, Windows XP is a 32bit operating system. Which means that one program can only address 2 GB of RAM memory.
Depending on how Ken wrote the restore it might just be that your memory is running full.
You can observe this by starting the Task Manager (right-click on the Task bar, switch to Processes) when you run the restore. If DVDP reaches 2 GB, you'll know you're in trouble territory.
But quite honestly, Windows XP has simply reached the end of its lifetime and usefulness. In the computer era that's eons. Most people don't even drive cars that old. | | | Karsten

By the way I have two 2GB sticks of memory and my SP3 windows xp pro computer tells me me I have something like 3.2 GB of memory available .. so it can't be a faulty stick issue or could it ..? That's probably because of your graphics card. The amount of ram on those counts towards the 4gb maximum ram a 32 bit system can use. So if you have 4gb system ram and a card with 512mb of ram on it then you'd actually only have 3.5 gb of useable system ram. When you add in the memory windows itself takes up that drops closer to 3gb. | | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |

Can you open a support ticket and post a link to the backup file? Dropbox can handle it, or pick the service of your choice. still tring to find a cloud service ( apart from my current drop box) that i can upload 3.1 GB for free ., Currently my drop box that I use for documents and jpgs has only 2.8 gb available .. and if I upgrade it monthly fees are $9.99 ( or $11.00 ) a month..! .. so what does it mean when I run data base repair and after it scans says it is complete and finished .. and if I run a backup .. the profiler program asks me if I want to a data base repair first and if I click yes (right after I have run a repair ) .. it comes back again with errors .. ( if I run the repair again .. and it 'clears' or repairs then when I run the backup again - I don't check the box for repairs as I have just done so .. but if I click the box for repairs after I repair it comes back with errors again !.. I must have a bad thumbnail some where .. My liobrary is only 2000 titles and I use hi definition cover art. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

...that i can upload 3.1 GB...
My liobrary is only 2000 titles and I use hi definition cover art. That's high from my experience, my 4800 profiles with high quality set for cover scans is only 1.16 gb. I don't use cast/crew pictures or any sort of html episode guide stuff for tv series though, so if you use those that may explain the difference. | | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |
