Thanks for starting the new year being forgiving.

Glad you got things working for you now - I think we all are going to have some learning curve when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Hi Danny. You were right. I used nothing but wave files in a project and no memory error. Your reply has saved me a lot of heartache I'm sure! I'll convert any files I use to wav from now on. Thanks for your help, Paul. Hi Bob. No problem. Thanks for reading the posting. These forums are the most helpful, and friendly, that I've ever experienced.

No problem, I figured that's what your problem was. I'm just glad that's what it was. Good luck with everything. :)

So, after getting around the out of memory error by only using wave files, I then had X2 producer crashing regularly.  Sometimes it was when adding a softsynth (usually Z3TA 2.1) and others when addings effects.  I've been reading various forums about the best way to run X2 producer, so I figured I'd just do them all and see what happens.  So, I finally bit the bullet and reloaded the whole lot.  I have 2 hard drives in my PC, and cleared one off and loaded X2 producer on there, as well as the quickfix.  Then loaded all the additional instruments etc, and loaded the projects onto a seperate external hard drive.  So far everything is working, except I bought an Andy Jonhs kit for session drummer 3 and that isn't loading all the drums correctly, so I'll need to reinstall that.  Anyway, so far so good, no memory errors (even when I load audio files that are not wave files), and no crashes.  In fact it seems more stable than it's ever been.
 
I've also been turning off the internet connection and the security software when I use X2, so I've done everything I can to minimise any problems.  I guess the thing is I don't know which actions fixed the out of memory problem or the crashes, but as long as I have something that works I'm happy.  I've not loaded the X2 'a' update yet, as the out of memory problems started after I loaded that.  I'll back up all the cakewalk stuff from my second hard drive then try installing the update again.   If the out of memory problem comes back, then it has to be something to do with the update, and that being the case I'll just copy the backup files and run X2 without the updates.

So, the out of memory error is back using X2a producer.  Saving and closing the project, then reopening it, seems to reset it for a while so I can get around the problem.  Using wave files to prevent the issue, but I guess that's OK.

So, just to make sure I understand the current state of it, you are running X2a, and though you got the errors again - when trying non-waves files (?) - but if you work with wave files you are running OK?

Is the above a correct understanding?  (my brain and I are not on speaking terms this morning).

Just out of curiosity... what is the audio format you're using?
 

Bob.  Yes, now X2a is installed again the out of memory errors are back, but didn't happen in the straight X2 version. 
 
Hi Steve.  I'm using rex2 loops.  If I use wave files and loop them there's no error.  Even just previewing the rex2 loops causes the out of memory error with X2a.  I tried doing the same thing in the standard X2 and there were no problems.  After everything I've done my gut feeling is there's a problem with the update.  I should be able to preview and use these loops without causing this error.
 
I backed up X2 before i installed the update, so i might just go back to that.    Paul.

Are you using a rex player with the rex loops, such as RXP Player?
No problems here using RXP Player with rex loops.

No, I'm dragging them in from the browser into an audio track. 

What do you have your paging file set to in Windows? It should be set to let Windows control the size. 

Depending on how many tracks you have, Windows 8 32-bit with only 3GB usable may not be enough. You should have installed 64 bit Windows.
