Yeup... Even though it just flashes up an extra message box because the
account I am using is an admin it didn't seem to help at all....
Its really strange almost like I need to tell vista to take and make it
Exclusive mode so that it can reserve more until the system starts realizing
itself that it is a frequently used application.
Any one know how to do this or change any settings that would reduce this?
I'm wondering if I have a conflict usage over the video card? Could Vista
and the Areo affects be consuming too much video ram on the application alone?
