In Win2K you can get an idea of what is happening with your system's memory when you press Ctrl+Alt+Del and choose task management. The three windows there tell you what's active, what processes use and have used how much of the processor's calculating power and how your processor and Ram are doing.

unfortunately, my version of Win is in my native language, Flemish, and it is difficult to find the exact names and expressions of each and every setting and window.

But if you're only using 7MB of Ram with all your layers included, I'd try to limit PS's share of memory to say 100MB instead of the 450MB you give it now. Don't forget that no one problem writes in lines like we do, but scatters its data around on the available ram, and that it takes longer to search on 450- than on 100 MB.

We will find it!
