There are things, simple things, that I can’t seem to do because of memory issues. Rebooting, going offline and turning off Norton help to some extent, but I’d like to extract a mesh or two without going to those extremes. So, I need a little Step by Step help (as I’m a computer illiterate idiot). Are there settings I can change in order to access more Ram either on my computer or within ZBrush? Following is a list of System Information regarding my computer:
System Model–HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

2.13GHz, 2133 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical

SMBIOS Version–2.6
Windows Directory C:\Windows
System Directory C:\Windows\system32

Hardware Abstraction Layer–Version = “6.1.7600.16385”
Installed Physical Memory (RAM)–8.00 GB

Available Physical Memory–5.83 GB

See this post for proper 64 bit OS settings.
Edit: I should mention that the settings in that post can be changed in Preferences > Mem submenu in ZBrush.
Thanks. That made a difference.
