fatal error: out of memory

[gwyndion]

greetings and salutations.

working with land desktop 2k6 with raster 2k6 enabled. moving different rasters around and things, I get the dreaded fatal error:out of memory. Rasters are only about 8mb in size each, about 12 of them. Plenty of mem on the system.

sys-specs:
AMD athlon64 3700
2gb mem
dual nvidia 6800GT-sli mode
win xp/sp2
160gb hdd
swap file is currently at 4gb
no virus or spyware (guaranteed on that)

any other suggestions? or possible reasons?

thanks
J

Before it crashes with one of those files type the
command STATUS. Gives a whole load of system
data, maybe somehting will show up.

Or try increasing the swap file etc.

from what I can tell, acad is ignoring the windows paging file. I have set it both to windows managed mode, and also user set of 2500mb-4096mb and it has not made a difference in acad swap file..registry key maybe?
