Hello all, I have a question about computer graphics. I have been using Adobe Illustrator CS2 on my 2003 windows XP Home system that has 1.4 gig Ram, with a mediocre graphic card, and I created a t-shirt design that was 150MB.
The next day when I tried to open the file I was told that the computer couldn't open it because I didn't have enough memory, and I thought, I just created the artwork a day ago! I then broke down and bought a new laptop that was twice the power as my '03 model. It is a 7400 Dual Centrino processor Sony Vaio with 2 Gigs of memory expandable to 4 Gigs of memory. It also has a super Nividia 8400 graphics card, and the new Win Vista of course.
I just knew that this operating system would handle my graphic needs compared to the 4 year old Toshiba laptop model that I was using prior to this purchase, but after loading up my CS2, and trying to open the same file I got the same message can't open illustration because of low memory, and this is a new dual processor, with 2 gigs of Ram! I was pissed to say the least!
I want to know If there is a memory setting that I can make that allocate more memory to my graphic programs, so I wont have any problems with memory on my brand new $1700.00 super graphic laptop? The salesman @ Bestbuy said not to purchase more memory for a couple of months because they will be cheaper in a couple of months. Thanks for all!
Frustrated,
Jim

Hmmm it doesnt sound like it should be a problem opening the file with the new system you have. Maybe something corrupted your file when saving it. Do you have any other copy of the design? it sounds like it is that particular file that is causing the problem. Maybe if you know someone else who has a computer try opening it on their system and see if it works, but it sounds like it is the file itself and not the system.

Hi Bobbie, I don't think that It's the file, but I'll check. The Illustrator .EPS file opens fine in Photoshop after It's been rasterized. I also saved the .EPS file in .PDF format and that copy WILL open, but when I select a portion of the graphic, to move it, it won't move.
This is frustrating, because I created It on an older 2003 laptop with no dual processor, less memory, with no problem. I'll try to open a similiar large file 150MB, and see what happens. The laptop that I just purchased is supposed to be a super graphic processor. Is there a way to check and see If the computer is functioning properly?
All the Best,
Jim

if you are getting same results on two machines, it is not the computer. One problem with laptops is that many do not have dedicated graphics cards but share memory
I do a lot with graphics...if you contact me direct maybe you could send the file to me and let me see...

Thanks Charles, I'll consider that!

I create and open files that size everyday on my Vaio. 2 gigs ram as well.
If you would like you can contact me through my site and I'll have a look at it and try it on multiple machines.

THIS IS WHERE I'M AT NOW WITH MY BRAND NEW SONY VAIO:
I CREATED ARTWORK WITH ADOBE CS2, ON MY 2003 TOSHIBA WINDOWS XP HOME COMPUTER THAT TURNED OUT TO BE 156MB, AND WHEN I TRY TO OPEN THE ARTWORK ON MY "BRAND NEW" SONY DUAL PROCESSOR WITH 2 GIGS OF RAM, IT SAID THAT IT COULDN'T OPEN IT BECAUSE OF LOW MEMORY. I WAS SHOCKED!
A DUAL PROCESSOR AND DOUBLE THE MEMORY SYSTEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT WINDOWS VISTA REQUIRES ALOT OF MEMORY, SO I FIGURED THAT I SHOULD MAKE ANOTHER PURCHASE AND INCREASE THE RAM, SO NOW I'M AT 3GIGS OF RAM. I TRIED TO OPEN THE SAME ARTWORK THAT AS I SAID EARLIER, THAT WAS CREATED ON A SUBSTANTIALLY SLOWER MACHINE, WITH HALF OF THE RAM, AND IT STILL WOULD NOT OPEN. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THIS SONY VAIO? I DON'T WANT TO SPEND MORE MONEY TRYING TO FIX THIS BRAND NEW SONY PRODUCT.
ANY THOUGHTS GUYS?
WITS END!

I'm on a Sony Vaio (2gig) right now. email me the file and I'll see if it opens.
I'm a technical illustrator and I make huge vector files on this machine and it has no problems opening them.
Like cybe said, more then likely it's a corrupted file.
