Hi,
I was having massive stability problems myself until I followed some advice I received from the support team.
Even pop up processes like Norton's, McAfee's and Screen savers would kill my conformed audio & confuse things.
Now I too only have a 32 bit OS (Vista Premium Home) but have 3GB RAM - the most you can utilise in 32 bit OS - & two internal HD.
The advice was to save aside my raw media, then completely delete PRE 8 using Windows Add & Delete Programs.
Next too I deleted all the directories it was using & also cleaned up various system deitrous using CS3CLEAN SCRIPT (Google for it)
selecting Level 4 to clean the registry too - downloaded from the Adobe resource of course rather than anyone else.
I then did a DFRAG on both C: & D: drives and a general file cleanup making sure that there was 25GB of swap space on C drive.
This took a day and a bit.
I then reinstalled everything and, this time, when I started a New Project I first of all set up scratch disks for every sort of cache it needs on my D: drive.
It seems that this means its temporary files can be read and written efficiently without compteing with the processes competing for swap space.
I still have problems with sustaining conformed audio but I will make a separate post about that in a minute.
The good news is that the continual crashes and snail-paced user interface responsiveness is cured for now!
Hope others out there can benefit from this post. Perhaps a future edition of PRE could notice at installation that you have an internal D drive & use it.
