Install phase freezes in IDE?

Anyone else have this problem? After working in the product for a few minutes, and moving action items around in the Install phase tree, the product often locks up and becomes unresponsive. I can even get it to select more than one item in the tree (two things are bolded).

If I click off the Install phase onto another phase, then click back on Install phase, the screen doesn't refresh and show me that phase. Most of the time I have to kill the javaw process on my system to kill IA. If I try and save, it just hangs while saving!!!!

Then, I attempt to move an item to a Magic Folder (say from USER_INSTALL_DIR to USER_MAGIC_FOLDER_1), I select it in the Path drop-down, and it fails to move.

Some weird stuff going on here - as I recall, we had this sort of problem with IA8, but it didn't happen in IA2009. Same system here, 4GB of RAM, plenty of available RAM while I'm running the IDE, so I don't know why this seems flaky --- really, really frustrating to work with :mad:


I reload the project, it works fine for a bit. I'm finding myself saving every few minutes because of this, and it's really slowing down development!

Its hard to find a real patten as to why this seems to happen. I run IA2009 on the same system with absolutely no problems like this. Just wondering if anyone else has ever seen this?

If it's XP SP 3, then it's not 64 bit (even if you have 4 GB only 3 are used).

You're correct, I was wrong about my RAM - I have 2GB of RAM. I was confusing this system specs with my laptop (which is 64-bit). Sorry for the confusion.

Could it be a RAM issue then?
