Well, that's not really my definition of "tight" when you have 768MBs of real RAM, unless most of the programs you're running are bad memory hogs/leakers. I have routinely run a configuration on Windows similar to that for years, even before I had 786MBs of RAM on my own machine. If you're running out of memory in those configurations, then one or more of those programs is being very inefficient in its memory usage. And even if Finale is the offender here, that still doesn't tie in low memory as the cause of the file overwrite bug. -- David W.
