Thanks for the replies. the PC is running an X6800 2.93 dual chip, on 64 bit windows 7 ultimate. on start up the system info ( in the control panel ) window, shows the 5 gig of ram on the board as ok.. and says windows can only use 3 gig of it.. i see from the web, that - that is a typical response.. for whatever reason i guess i will have to live with it.. i will try and see what i can do about the exif problem.. and how to get the lens info permanently available -- A list of frequently asked questions is available at: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
