Hello Virginia and all,

I just upgraded my PC's memory from 512MB to 2.5 GB (not just for TMG, but
also for movie editing). I have the usual number of applications open
besides TMG, and I have been alt-tabbing away for about 10 minutes, and not
a single abrupt exit has occurred. One thing I am noticing is that when I
alt-tab back to TMG from another application, the screen redraws quicker.
It's a subtle difference but it used to take fractions of a second after I
alt-tabbed before I actually had TMG in the foreground again, and now it is
instantaneous. I am really leaning toward memory as cause of abrupt exits
with alt-tab; expecially since I figured out that my PC does not have
dedicated video memory. Peformance makes it pretty obvious that there's
less writing to the swapfile. I have TMG, IE, Outlook and Excel open and
600 MB of memory is in use, which is 88 MB more than I used to have in
total. :)
