Avg Memory Usage: Heavy Error
I have a computer that does all the Graphic artist stuff.
I get the "Avg Memory Usage: Heavy" Error message then my system hangs.
I have Corell Draw Graphics Suite X5 and have 3 pictures loaded into memory up to 5 megs each.
My System is a Clone,
Win7 64bit
8gigs Ram
2 Disk Drives, System on 1 Terabyte and Swap File on D: 2Terabyte drive.
Nvidia Card with 1 Gig Ram.
It appears that the Memory is leaking?

ESET or Sophos anti-virus are great as well.
However I believe the OP was referring to Average mem usage.
Some graphics programs like to gobble up memory, I know photoshop does a lot.
You may want to reduce the amount of memory that CorelDraw is using. I don't use that program, however I know that with adobe there are parameters in the preferences to adjust memory usage, and you may want to adjust those in CD.

You can use process explorer to find out which process is consuming the memory usage.

you can set the priority of the application by going into task manager > processes tab > right click > set priority> lower it > then a message comes up > Ok > then see if that helps.
You can also set affinity in this way as well, provided you click the set affinity option.

that may reduce CPU usage. if not see the application provider's site and check for program updates and fixes.
setting affinity tells the application which cores it will use.
