This is a rather annoying problem I've been having with VPView.
I will go to start the program, and it will come up with an error message saying "Runtime Error 7  Out Of Memory"

Has anyone else had this problem before?  
I would appreciate any help

Relevent specs include:    
WinXP
                                         
Intel 1GHz
                                         
384 MB RAM (which can hold any reasonable sized VP file in memory with no problem)

heh, that means you're running too much stuff and you're out of RAM. If that's not the case, I don't know.

i had the same problem. the thing to note here is that ur running it in winXP . XP has it's own way of handling memory and when u use programs that handle memory on their own other than what XP does, XP will simply give an error and shut it down, though of course sometimes they worked in XP before. better run it in win98 or so and u'll see it works operfectly fine.
when u run 98, u use full 384mb ram,
in XP because of it's internal memory management, u can use only about 256-288mb ram and that sucks....

(p.s... i have posted my problem can u look at it)

I have winXP, 1gig of RAM, a 1.8GHz processor and vpview works just fine for me without running in compatability mode.

Could you PLEASE spell out the word "you" and "you are", I don't think I'm the only person here who hates it when people do that...

Try freeing hard disk space from your Winchester, that should probably help if you are low on HD space. But I am not certain this works -  -

I understand the whole XP memory management thing completely.  Unfortunately, i have no way of using another operating system.  Of course the compatability feature was useless.  Is there any way at all to get around it?
It has worked under XP before and I cant seem to figure out what might be different now.

Sorry, I forget you know the 'box holding data' as hard drive. I have been enlightened about this before, but it looks I am forgeting.
