What OS? How much RAM? You're trying to set a custom size for the paging file? Do you have administrator rights? How much free disk space is there on the drive on which you're putting your custom paging file? What's the currently allocated size? What's recommended? 3 MB is an absurdly small number. Before you started messing with it, was the paging file system-managed or custom? Something sounds screwed up. Or you have virtually no free disk space. > > Are there any secrets to setting the virtual memory size? > Have enough disk space.

So I really need to solve this Virtual memory issue. I don't know what "manually install via individual setups" means, but if you're encountering this on multiple machines, I suspect you're screwing things up somehow. ;-) Not sure what else to look for, besides disk space and paging file size. If this is FM 5.5.6, Save As PDF doesn't work. Also, if this is a _new_ PC (Vista), there could be issues with FM 5.5.6. I think when that came out, Windows 3.1 was the cat's pajamas. :-) HTH!
