Subject:Problem with installation Posted by: nino Date:4/14/2001 4:55:40 PM I couldnt install Acid Pro 2.0 due to this error message: AUTI386 This program requires more conventional memory. Unload drivers or memory resident programs that use conventional memory, or increase the value for minimum conventional memory in the program's memory properties sheet. any ideas?

Subject:RE: Problem with installation Reply by: billybk Date:4/16/2001 8:38:23 AM Nino, I beleive the recommended minimum requirements to run ACID 3.0 is at least a 400mhz processor and 128MB of ram. I would say that with this latest version you would be better off with 500mhz or better processor and 256MB or more of ram. You may need to beef up your computer system in order to run ACID 3.0 at its optimium potential. Billy Buck
Subject:RE: Problem with installation Reply by: SonicJG Date:4/16/2001 9:56:59 PM This is ACID 2.0, correct? When auti386 is saying that it needs more "conventional memory", it's not really referring to the 96MB of RAM, it's talking about the amount of memory in your systems DOS environment. You probably have a number of extraneous things getting loaded in your autoexec.bat, config.sys, win.ini or system.ini files. You may also have an application running that's taking up space. If you know what they are, and can determine that it's safe to disable them, you may be able to free some space that way, but remember that the files mentioned above can have important data for the system, so best to be cautious about it. You may also be able to get it to install by bypassing the autorun(auti386), and browsing to G:\Setup\ACID, and running sfsetup.exe from there.

Nino,
I beleive the recommended minimum requirements
to run ACID 3.0 is at least a 400mhz processor
and 128MB of ram. I would say that with this latest
version you would be better off with 500mhz or better
processor and 256MB or more of ram. You may need to
beef up your computer system in order to run ACID 3.0
