I'm running Corel Draw 2.0, and Windows tells me that I have zero percent free resources. I can believe this, because switching in and out of Corel takes forever. Oh, this is only when I have a complex drawing loaded. I have an 8MB PS/2 70-A21, with disk swapping turned off (Paging=No under [386enh] in my system.ini), and before Corel I have about 5.2MB free, and once it's loaded, I have about 5.0MB free, but 0% free resources. So, my questions are: 1. Is this normal for Corel Draw? 2. If yes, then how can I increase my resources? 3. If no, how do I fix it? Thanx in advance! ----------------------------------------------------------- The Time Traveler I used to love her a.k.a.

I have talked to some people who have a similar problem. In all cases they were using QEMM to manage their memory not the Windows' himem. Disabling, that is putting an exclude statement, shadow ram seemed to solve the problem. So, the question now is: do you use QEMM and if so, have you already disabled shadow ram? If you haven't done so, see what happens. If you don't have QEMM, do you have shadow ram on your system anyway? Built-in to your setup perhaps?
