is there any robust solution to Out of memory error in Windows 7 32 bit machine where MCR is installed?

Hi I run a MATLAB exe in a windows 32bit xp machine with 1 GB RAM without errors. If I run the code in a windows7 32 bit machine with 2.9Gb or 3.3 Gb RAM MATLAB gives the message "out or memory" How I can solve the problem? thanks in advance

Check whether the xp machine has been configured for a large virtual memory (swap space).

Hi, in windows Xp virtual memory is 1.5 Gb, in windows 7 PC I set virtual memory up to 4Gb and 7Gb without any success. I suppose that "out of memory" is like a "false message" or the probelma is that windows7 use RAM in a different way of windows xp, but I am non a system manager and Idon't know windows system so well

All you can really do is get your program to log the memory stats to give you a hint of when/why it falls over. - It may be that your Windows 7 machine is very untidy and just doesn't keep large enough swathes of memory free for you.

I use the below command to get the memory stats printed to screen.

 feature 'memstats'
