Hello there people.

Any help would be most appreciated.

My issue is the following: -

I use one single file just short of 48mb which I add to on a weekly basis. This file is simply a large board of cut out images of mine I use on my e-commerce shop. I do not upload it to a website or anything like that from what I have been reading on other peoples OOM issues. I was working on the file yesterday, clicked save then it was acting slow. I managed after a few minutes to close the (crashed) Xara down, then proceeded to try and reopen it. That's when I got the dreaded OOM pop up. I have used msconfig to shut down programs from starting on boot up, I have a PC with more than sufficient memory with only about 10% of its hard drive being used. I rebooted and made sure minimal programs were working but still I have this issue.

I don't have an older back up....not good I know but surely after looking at other peoples cases with HUGE files that they are uploading with too, i would like to think my little 48mb collage would be safe......?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

JM.
