Right of the screen is black

It's not a blue screen.  It's a window paint problem caused by thrashing.   He's paging his page file.  I'll see what I can do w.r.t. reducing the DB working set over time, but Peter, you should add some RAM to your box if you are going to run so many things at once.

Well, I putted the blue screen of XP at another bugtopic.  There DB triggers the blue screen, by loading a specific sim.

Alright, so it just came becouse I used more RAM then I had. I'll look where I can find some extra RAM.

A not bug specific question.
About the RAM, at this moment I've got two RAM-chips of each 1GB. Type is DDR2 SDRAM DIMM.
Speed is 333mhz. Does this mean I can buy a different speed of it, or do I have to keep it at the same speed of RAM.

Testlund:
I don't know about others here, but I have problem even running the browser together with DB and I have 2 GB RAM and an Athlon Dual Core CPU 2.2 GHz (equivalent to a 4.2 GHz single core). I usually pause or quit DB when doing other stuff on the computer. DB doesn't like to compete about resources.

Numsgil:
Heh, I guess I confused the topics when I replied.

You're probably stuck at that speed ram.  I think....  I'm not a hardware guy so don't quote me  but I think all RAM has to be same clock speed, and it has to much the bus speed, which is a hardware thing you probably can't change.

If you have two gigs of Ram, that should be enough.  That's what I have at home.

Testlund:
Maybe that's the reason in my case; my bus speed isn't optimal. I've also heard it's not recommended to mix various RAM together. Keep the same brand and clock speed and run a program called Memtest86+ right after you've installed them, to check they're not faulty. It's quite common with faulty RAM even when they're new, which will cause hangs, crashes and data loss.
