hie,
I am facing this problem when I try to import some large object such as movie file or any other huge file. Whenever I try to import the file that is relative large in size, I get an error message saying,
"Error Compling Movie - Out of Memory" (for movie files)
or
"ERROR: Import: Out of memory: reached limit of 23068672 in large arena"
What can be the reason for getting this error ? Can anyone provide me the solution for the same ?
thanks...
You can use any one of the following methods to work around this problem.
- Use the MaxFileCache setting in the System.ini file to reduce the maximum amount of memory that Vcache uses to 512 megabytes (524,288 KB) or less.

- Use the System Configuration utility to limit the amount of memory that Windows uses to 512 megabytes (MB) or less.

Check the RAM information in your system. If you are using Windows XP, you can find the RAM information by -
Start --- Programs --- Accessories --- System Tools --- System Information
Scroll until you get to Total Physical Memory and then Available Physical Memory. Check and tell what figures does it show for each of those ?
The Windows 32-bit protected-mode cache driver (Vcache) determines the maximum cache size based on the amount of RAM that is present when Windows starts. Vcache then reserves enough memory addresses to permit it to access a cache of the maximum size so that it can increase the cache to that size if needed. These addresses are allocated in a range of virtual addresses from 0xC0000000 through 0xFFFFFFFF (3 to 4 gigabytes) known as the system arena.
On computers with large amounts of RAM, the maximum cache size can be large enough that Vcache consumes all of the addresses in the system arena, leaving no virtual memory addresses available for other functions such as opening an MS-DOS prompt (creating a new virtual machine).
