Those instructions look easier than what I found. I'll try it out tomorrow.

I live just 3 Km from the top of Queenstown's Coronet Pk; yes, great scenery.
Thanks again, Terry,

Eljae, thanks for your comment.
I know PS is a memory hog. You can allocate the amount of RAM you want to let PS use and assign scratch disks for memory beyond that. I have a hard drive partition just for that. However, when using Qimage for the big files I often close down PS and clear the memory because I'm not sure if PS frees things up even when it shuts down. It would be nice if Qimage could work on a scratch disk like PS.

Terry, I always appreciate the detailed attention you give to people's queries..
I studied the 3GB switch thing a bit today. Frankly I'm a bit scared to try it. I have a tech guy I'll ask about it. It seems the best way is probably to have it as an option on boot up rather than on full-time.

Cheers, Paul

Thanks, Terry.
It says, Start: 764 MB, Addl: 449 MB, Now:764 MB. Guessing that Addl might mean additional, the math doesn't work, but either way it is not enough for my file size.

I've already stripped XP back to the bones but still it doesn't process what it could a couple of years back when XP had all the bells and whistles running. I still am certain that I processed this very same file to 44" x 58" previously, direct to EPson 9800 printer. Now I only want to print it to full-size TIFF, to process on my Mac via proprietary driver. Maybe that's the difference. Maybe spooling to printer is lighter than building to Tiff.

I'm wondering why I get the message, "Out of system resources", when I try to process a large file?

OK so maybe this computer is a bit of a clunker - but I can upsize in Photoshop with bicubic-sharper, add width to the canvas, manually apply edge markers and print to TIFF  - on the very same computer.

Yes, sure the file is not small, at 987MB, but why can Photoshop do it and not Qimage? I'd much prefer to use Qimage for several reasons, and I wouldn't care if it took ten minutes or more. Is there something I can change to get around this problem? I can't seem to free up any system resources any way I try.

By the way, a couple of years ago I could process this exact same file on the same computer. I just did some edits and now it won't process.

Anyone else have this problem?
