Blue Screen Of Death. Not something you can expect to see in RW normally, only when there are other major issues happening as well.

WINDOWS VISTA/Win7 ONLY:

1. Open a command prompt with Administration rights. You find the command prompt box under "Programs-Accessories-Command prompt"

2. Right Click the command prompt and select "run as administrator".

3. Enter in the box at the prompt: (copy/paste if you wish)

bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 2560

and press enter

4. Reboot

TO set that back to default in VISTA/Win7 just start the command line prompt with Admin right again and type:

bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 2048

Hit enter and reboot



NOTE: It is possible you may need to TUNE this value if out of memory errors still display, especially with large video memory video cards (640mb and above)

If you sill see OOM errors, do the following:

Depending on your OS follow the directions above about editing the system for the cache value. What you will do is LOWER the value edited to the system originally. The amount should be DROPPED in lots of 64
Not sure how much the above has been 'aired' and therefore how many Vista/Win7 users with problems have tried it. CaptScarlet put me on the right 'track' and I've not had a problem on the WCML scenarios since. :D
