This is part of the problem, I am in a Unix shared environment, where I have to place a request for the software to be updated and wait another year ...
I am going to install Linux on my laptop and then move everything over there and see how does it go ...

My version: This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.11a-2.1 (Web2c 7.5.2) \write18 enabled. Your version: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) My version: ConTeXt ver: 2004.3.19 fmt: 2004.3.20 int: english mes: english Your version: ConTeXt ver: 2003.1.31 fmt: 2003.4.5 int: english mes: english 2. in order to use CONTEXT at its best you really should enable \write18 What kind of installation do you use? If you can you should update to the latest version. If you can you might want to use TeX Collection 2003 i.e. TeXlive 9. The issue you have with the exceeded tex-capacity is then solved anyway. If you are not able to update the tex-system because you are in a UNIX environment where you do not have all access rights it might be possible to make a texmf.cnf file in your local texmf-tree, where you can set the shellescape to t (true) which enables \write18 and you might be able to increase the memory assignments in the CONTEXT section of this file. I hope this helps!
