Virtual Memory problem on XP and other Windows systems

This happens only on computers with a gigabyte of memory or more. Here is the message that the computer user gets:

“This program requires at least 3 Mb of virtual memory.”

This problem only occurs with old versions of our programs.

If you upgrade to the latest version, this problem won't occur.

You can email Tasa Graphic Arts at:   info@tasagraphicarts.com

or call us at (800) 293-2725 to find out what upgrades we have available.

We'll need to know the name of the program that you have and the version number.

There are two other possible solutions:

1st solution:

Find where in the control panel to access Virtual Memory (this is different for different systems).
