C.) WinXP 32-bit Configuration Issue:
Windows XP 32-bit memory utility: (AVID Install3GB utility)
Upon completion of the AVID software installation, the AVID / WinXP 32-bit memory utility must be run to
properly configure the WinXP 32-bit environment to run AVID software. This utility is named "Install3GB" and
resides in the following folder location c:\ Programs \ Avid \ Utilities \ 3GB. Simply double-click on the
"Install3GB" utility and enter the proper parameter for your particular AVID configuration. The "Install3GB"
utility is user friendly and will walk the user through determination of the proper setting. This utility only needs
to be run once and will create the proper permanent WinXP 32-bit operating system setting. Should your AVID
hardware / software configuration ever change, simply rerun the utility and reconfigure WinXP 32-bit as
needed. The "Install3GB" utility should never be run for a Vista 64-bit environment (WinXP 32-bit only).
