I just reformatted my computer... so yes, everything is completely new. However, I recieved the same errors before the format.
About the RAM... my Motherboard is fairly old (AGP 4X only and PC2100 support only. I actually have PC3200 in there, but the motherboard steps it down, cause it dosent support such speeds

) As you said, Ulillillia, I doubt any of those are the problem, seeing as its still about 10x over the minimum, but still...
I have semi-solved one of the problems... when comming out of a full screen preview, if I immediately minimize MED, open it, and save (dont ask, it works), it will not crash. Ghetto workaround, but still would like to know whats up??? A fresh version of Direct X did nothing.
Thanks again,
