I also get this problem. I'm running a Pentium D (3.3 ghz) 930, 2gb ram, vista ultimate, radeon x800 pro. When I get a about half a page of test without aliasing it starts blanking out the screen saying insufficient memory,

It is not just the RAM which PI refers to as memory. PI 11 was very bad in utilising memory, I had to shut it down and restart after every second action I took on a large (8MP) image.

What are your settings for virtual memory in PI preferences? Do you have the "Auto Save" option selected? That was the first one I disabled. I rather save manually under alternating names.

I have my virtual memory set to :
Hardisk: C:\ 154294 MB Free. i will attempt to increase it. i have a 320 gig. hard drive.
I also set in the 2. slot my f:\, which is also a 320 gig hard disk.

Have you tested your memory lately? There is a free testing utility available at the MS site. Could be faulty memory.

Are you limiting the memory or file size in your prferences?

Have you installed the Vista Update patch?

I suggest 1 GB of RAM is insufficient to even run VISTA on its own

yes i have applied the patch last week. thanks for your replies. appreciate it. 1 gig of memory should be more than enough to run vista and photoimpact. i run adobe photoshop elements with no problems and it takes much more memory than PI.

I have the same problem in Windows XP.

When I try to align two images i get Unsufficient memory.

My system is a pentium 4 3.6 ghz with 2Gb memory.

It never happens before it just started today.

Sad to say but this is a Ulead PhotoImpact problem.

I have exhausted just about everything to try combat this problem, all to no avail. PhotoImpact is badly programmed and has a memory reading problem.

Nine times out of ten it's not your PC........ believe me been there done that. One day, Ulead PhotoImpact designers/programmers MAY get this program to work correctly........ I won't hold my breath.

Sorry if I sound a bit cynical, but the problems with PI began with the launch of version 10... before that PI was a very stable program. You only have to read all the posts around the net to see what people have had to endure after buying 10, 11 and now 12. The list of problems with PI are numerous.

First post. My name is Russell Holmes, and I have been using PhotoImpact since version 6.

I hadn't run into the problem until version 12. I thought it was the machine at first but work swapped out my machine with upgraded memory. (4G RAM now)

I can open a new image, type in four characters individually (or draw in four small circles for that matter). I can arrange them anyway I see fit until I group 2 and try to align them with the other two. The New machine is having the same problem. PI10 does not. I have a friend that is running 8G RAM and it having the same issue. PI can be the only program running.

I hope this is corrected in the next version.

BTW, I downloaded and installed the latest update and it made no difference.

I have the same problem with PI 12, ram 4GB, video memory 2GB, more than 800 Gb free (5 HDDs) running Vista, all patches installed.
Is there a patch to come soon?
