ke) some times crashing the app in spectacular fashion, but more
often just hanging. I found the tip about moving the install directory up
in a post here I think, never saw it mentioned in any of the online references.

Since I moved the install directory, the system has gone from semi-flakey
to an absolute rock.

Interesting about ram.
What ram was the old and waht is the new ?
I have Kingston value ram 512 sticks 3 pc133 SDRAM.
Here is what I do in registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/SessionM anager/MemoryManagement
There you find or if not creat a dword
DisablePagingExecutive and put value data 1
Also for dword LargeSystemCache put also 1
for PagedPoolSize dword put 0xfffffff (4294967295)
for SystemPages dword put 0x000c3000 (798720)
for dword IOPageLockLimit put 0x00040000(262144)

Before doing all these export your registry file to a safe place so you can
recover it in case something will get screwed up...
No big deal though.

Now I don't get that exception until I reload while Paris is opened on a
specific waves project and I reload another waves oriented project without
first closing Paris...

Regards,
Dimitrios
