Glad to hear that.  Eventually, we want to move to having the
images displayed as they are downloaded.

Very nice!

Boy, that's really puzzling then.

If it was working earlier in the week, I don't know of anything
that we changed that would affect the memory allocation. I'm completely
stumped on that one.  The bundle is still using the Image Sequence
Display which hasn't changed in a couple of weeks.

One other thing to try is using the Windows Vista installer (should
work on XP) and see if that makes any difference using the higher
memory option.
