Hi,
In case anyone else might find this useful...
A client of mine had had trouble allocating as much pixmap memory as his
video card should have allowed. I just got word that the problem was
solved as follows:
=====
Apparently Terminal Services uses video memory in such a way that limits
the amount of video memory that's available to IDL. As soon as I
uninstalled Terminal Services, then I could create 6 pixmaps in IDL that
were 20MB each.
=====
Cheers,
--

Dick is having some news server trouble, and some people aren't seeing his
postings at all. If you can read this, but not any postings from him (like
the two in this thread), please write him at dick@d-jackson.com with your
news server address, to help him get this sorted out.
Cheers,
Liam.
