MrStudio Cache memory   Message List

Re: MrStudio Cache memory

Hi, and Thanks for your comments - i have checked my computer out but
the cpu usage doesn't go over 50% and the memory doesn't hit the max.
i have dual processors for 2.8 Ghz with 2.5 gb ram and am expecting
an upgrade soon. One thing i do notice is that having outlook open
often causes the unknown aggregator error in during an excel export.
if i have problems and shut outlook down i can run the same file
without issue. i suspect it has something to do with the ms clipboard
and hidden temp files, but as yet have not been able to find any
hidden files to remove.

i think my company is skipping 4.5 and will be loading 5.0 (currently
testing) or 5.5 on our machines. so i am also hoping that 5.0 or 5.5
improves this part of the TOM experience.
