    How much memory do you have and what were you doing when you got the alert?

    What OS are you using?

    What other programs are running in the background? Antivirus?

    3.5GB of ram running on xp pro sp2

    no AV at the moment and had Revit, Mozilla Thunderbird and Win Explorer open.

    when it happened i was going through my layouts printing each one, which is also flawed as i have dual monitors and i can only scroll one way with 'quick layouts'

    i've reopened the drawing and here is the mem usage of my pc (Revit has 3 projects open at the moment to)

    So, from the looks of it you had Revit and AutoCAD open at the same time. You also had a browser running (Opera), MSN messenger and Winamp fired up as well. Is acrotray associated with Adobe?

    Actually I think the problem is you have more than 3GB RAM installed and Windows has cut back on your resources. You're not running with the 3GB switch activated, right?
