Lightwave Multi-threading crash

[Oracle77]

hey, my lightwave has been real unfreindly lately...
I have isolated the problem to 2 subpatched, boned, Ik'd, slidered, models. However, it will only crash when i turn Multi-threading from1, to 2. Multi-threading has worked for me all the time before, but somehow not now!!! ......
If anyone can help, thanks!

Well since no one understands, ill tell you what the bit more of my testing tells me:
This is simply a UV crash, when I dont apply the 400megs of pictures to UV maps, they do jsut fine, even on say projection type. However the second I switch it back to UV it will crash!
Now thats not all folks, after 15 or so frames, it will crash on 1 thread!!!!
I have checked the map file and cant seem to find anything obscure there.
Heres a twist: if I disable the map, then renable the map, I get one frame done right! and that only works dealing with one object at a time :(
So if you guys dont know the answer, do you know where I can find out what lightwave does right before it closes? (I dont get a warning for a crash, just a close like nothings wrong...)
thanks for any help you can get me, if youd like me to post some of the stuff, I can try.

Well technically, now I know whats wrong.
I checked out my scene properties, turns out, under free memory, i had 34M(RAM) + -1 555 000K(Page) ... :eek:
so after changing my virtual memory from 4000M, to 'system managed sized', my free memory is now 83M(RAM + 1331.2M(Page). Now this may seem reasonable, but with multi-threading, I need to double the used number.
Now, it breaks down when page file reaches 1200M, every time. I take it this is just before it doubles.
So my question, ladies and gentleman:


How do I max out my Virtual Memory, or Page File size, on Windows XP to exceed 4000M per Drive????


After many long hours of testing, I hope someone can help me out before I spend weeks (and many fistfuls of hair) and figure it out myself. Thanks a bunch!
