Any known work-arounds? There is a Windows limitation, no application may allocate more then 2GB unless you specify the right value (e.g. /3GB) in the boot.ini file. boot.ini example: [Boot Loader] Timeout=7 Default=scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT [Operating Systems] scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2K Server" /3GB scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2K Server [VGA-Modus]" /basevideo /sos Gerrit -- =^..^= http://nyckelpiga.de/donate.html -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
