Hello,

I just installed Revit 2013 on my laptop, and even with my smaller files, I am getting a memory issue error message:  This computer does not have enough memory to open (my file) in Autodesk Revit Architecture 2013.  To reduce memory usage, you can move the project to a network drive and open it from there.

I am working on an HP 8440p, with Windows 7, 32 bit, Intel Core i5 520M @ 2.4 GHZ with 4 gb of ram.  I have an NVIDIA NVS 3100M graphics card, which I know isn't on the approved list, but again, never had a problem with it in 2012.

I never had an issue with 2012 with any of my projects.  One I'm trying to open is large, 208 MB, but the other is only 67 MB, and each get the same message.  I then tried opening a file of less than 10 mb, and got the same message, so I must have something not configured right.

Any help is appreciated - what might I try?  Do I have an incorrect configuration?

Forgot to mention that I tried installing the 3gb switch already and adjusted the Virtual Memory to a max of 10gb.

thanks,
