How to make my pc powerfull enough for Inventor?

[pvd]

Goodmorning Remark, thanks for your reaction. What about that switch? I've been to "Control panel - System (Properties) - Advanced -Performance Settings - Advanced" and inthere I changed Virtual memory to 3070 MB ("Total paging file size for all drives"). Is that the switch you are talking about?

 

The 64bit solution you suggested, that surely makes me dribble, just not sure if I'll get my staff that far.

 

Thanks again!

I guess Microsoft should have come up with a slightly different name. 3GB switch sounds like some button one pushes and things magically change.

 

The 3GB switch is something that is added to your Boot.ini file. It is accessed by clicking on Start > Run and typing in msconfig. This brings up the System Configuration Utility. There is a tab for the Boot.ini file. And this is where I stop and warn you of something.

 

The contents of the boot.ini file should be copied, as is, to a safe place prior to making any changes. Carelessness in editing a boot.ini can result in your computer not booting up.

 

Do you still want to proceed? I'll tell you where to find the instructions of what to add to this file.

I'll talk about it to our IT-man. As long as I don't keep you up, keep that info coming!

thanks very much

I just started my day so I'll be around for a while. Maybe I'll be keeping you up. I located in on the east coast of the United States in Connecticut and it is about 7:18 a.m. at the moment.

Here is a link to a thread about the 3GB switch. Read the entire thread. Note the links provided by myself (at the very top of the thread) and by another forum member (near the bottom of the thread). Note too that a third forum member thought I was talking about virtual memory and did something very similar to what you did.

 

Gather all the information you can then talk to your IT person. If you are both comfortable with the procedure then take the next step and edit your boot.ini file.
