Should I add more RAM? If my Dell laptop has 256 MB RAM and the burner program I am using uses 321.0 MB.?
I have a laptop Dell computer that has windows XP on it. I have an external cd/dvd burner of which I purchased from Dell last year. I am using Pinnacle studio 8 which I love to make and burn the slideshows. I have been to Best Buy and bought different things to assist me with a full complete burn without success. All I want to do is complete a full dvd burn of slideshow pictures which is usually about 10-20 minutes worth of dvd time but my computer shuts down in mid burn but will burn other shorter picts of 2-3 minutes. So is this a memory issue on the computer itself or should I add it just to the program? I am confused....PLEASE HELP WITH AN ECONIMICAL ANSWER....THANKS SO MUCH.
Thanks so much to all who have answered. Your answers are very helpful.
256 megs is pretty low amount of memory these days, but it shouldn't prevent you from burning cd's or DVD's. I don't know of any burner that takes 321.00 megs of memory, perhaps you are talking about all of the programs you are running at one time.
1. Reduce the number of programs you are running on the machine. Temp turn off your virus scanning software when you go to burn. Look at what other useless junk you have running in the background and eliminate them.
2. Add memory if you can. 256 is about the minimum for use with XP.
3. Don't use Pinnacle to burn, get Nero 7.0 Ultra
The cheapest way to probably solve your problem is #1 above. Won't cost you a dime. XP should only take up about 140 MB with standard stuff running (controllers etc) Find out what is using so much of your memory.
