Hi, Kim,<br>
<br>
I can't quickly find how to turn off caching in Windows XP. I would go
to microsoft.com & use their knowledge base to find out how to make
it stop. There are other ways to save memory in XP, too, like reducing
resources allowed for virtual memory and turning off its built-in
default ability to go back to a previous state. Basically you want XP
to devote its resources to your experiment instead of to its own navel.<br>
<br>
I'm sure other folks in the maillist have experience with taming the XP
beast. <br>

<div class="RTE">I am running an experiment that contains large sound
files on a Dell Inspiron 8600 notebook. I am also collecting response
times via microphone. The experiment runs well until I've run it the
second or third time in a session, at which point it stops responding.
I've checked the memory resources, and when E-prime is running, it is
using 200,000 K of memory, so I think my problem has something to do
with that. My only option so far to continue the experiment is to
abort the experiment and pick up where we left off, which I'm sure
affects the results.</div>

<div class="RTE">I've gotten the OS system message:
DRIVER_POWER_MEMORY_FAILURE, and the screen also says to turn off
cacheing if you have gotten this message more than once.</div>

<div class="RTE">Does anyone know if I turn off cacheing on my
computer, will I still be able to collect data? Also, does anyone know
how to turn off cacheing? My only other solution would be to reboot
the computer between experiments, which would not be disruptive to the
testing session, but I don't know if this would do the trick.</div>
