According to my research ImageDB.dff is an ACDsee file containing Thumbnals. What version of ACDsee are you using? I found some ACDsee User Manuals. You can remove unwanted Thumbnails. Do you ever do this? I am not sure what affect Hibernate has on releasing memory. It may not release memory as Shutdown and Restart does. Hibernate dumps the whole of what is held in RAM to the hard disk. At least that is my present understanding of the process. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature...Hibernate_mode -- Hope this helps.

It is likely that an allocation of 12% has been made to System Restore on your C partition which is over generous. I would reduce it to 700 mb. Right click your My Computer icon on the Desktop and select System Restore.

Does ImageDB.ddf still appear in the Most fragmented files list? I looked at the system requirements fpr ACDSee 4 and Adobe Photoshop 7. They do seem to be quite modest.

Thanks for the info abot the ImageDB.dff. I have never removed unwanted
thumbnails. I don't even know which thumbnails it's referring to. I mean, what would make some thumbnails unwanted and not others? Do you have a link to the ACDsee Manuals so I can take a look? I am running version 4.0.2.0664. Back to the information you asked me to get yesterday. I changed the System Restore to 845MB/3% because 700MB wasn't an option. I ran a Degrag in Safe Mode and it was still unable to defrag the ImageDB.dff file. Did you think if I ran it a couple of more times in Safe Mode that it would help? I was unclear about that. From Task Manager: On a reboot: Commit - Total = 263320 (it kept changing slightly), Limit = 1920644, Peak = 301036 After starting ACDsee: Commit - Total 321480 (again kept changing), Limit = 1920649, Peak = 364008.

When I download from my camera to my computer I place the files in an As Imported folder. When I edit or crop the photos I place the files in an As amended folder. If you I used Thumbnail I would have two thumbs when only one might be needed. Some photos when you download can be so like another that they are not worth keeping. Doesn't the same apply to thumbnails as to the files? User guides http://www.acdsee.com/support/traini...erguides/index Page 71 may be of interest. Resizing System Restore to 845 mb is fine. Did you also do this before running Disk Defragmenter. "Also select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp, More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest SystemRestore point."? The Commit Charge figures are presently pointing to a problem with ACDSee In Task Manager what processes are showing the largest Mem Usage and Peak Mem Usage on the Prosses tab. You may need to add these columns to those presently displayed -View, Select Columns. -- Hope this helps.

Not Responding errors
I had the same problem. I have Webroot spysweeper antivirus and antispyware
software. I did a custom scan including root kits and found a very critical root kit problem that had to be quaratined and now my computer runs very well. The other antivirus and antispyware programs did not catch this problem at all. I have tried many of the most popular ones. Hopefully, this will help if you get Webroot Spysweeper 5.5 software.

At first I thought it was limited to my Internet Explorer, so I upgraded to IE 7 but it's still happens and even more frequently. First the program hangs, then I left click on the mouse and it displalys the "Not Responding" message, then I wait for it to finally resond. It also happens with Office programs or basically any other program installed. I am running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. I have defraged my hard drive, run all SpyWare scans, cleaned up my cookies, temporary internet files, system tray, my Anti-Virus is up-to-date, I have installed all Microsoft updates, etc. Anybody have any suggestions as this is becoming quite annoying. |
