OK thanks - I can't actually work out how to increase the memory allocation, and obviously cutting stuff is not very useful as it effects the game. Are the limits relevant to what's on sreen or to everything in the module? I might be able to split the extensions into another module and treat it as two seperate games. Not very elegant, but I am a bit desperate!
