Memory allocation problems

When I editing in MEP 2013 I seem to start having memory allocation that crash the program. Sometimes it creates a crash log; soemtimes not. I have sent the logs into the tech support. My first question is should I turn off my Anti Virus Software (Bitdefender 2013). The computer is rarely on the internet, so turning it off while I am using the software is not a problem. My nex question is could it be that I do not have enough space on my hard, currently I have only 9gb on a 112 gb ssd hard drive. I do think that my actual memory is the problem

My Hard ware config

AMD - 8150fx 3.6 Ghz

32gb mem

Windows 8 - 64

Just geting a little frustrated

Sorry I'm no hardware expert but I'd suspect that 9gb free HD space isn't enough. MEP is a 32 bit program which runs under a special mode on 64 bit machines.It can use more RAM than on a 32 bit machine but I'd suspect that some of its internal operation require a reasonable amount of HD space. Have you checked the Windows Task Manager to see what's happening when you run MEP?

After installing a Larger SSD (256 gb), I am happy to report that I am not having any problem exporting or burning to DVD. I think the proble was two Fold

1. I think my MEP 2013 was fighting with my Anti VIrus (Bitdefender)

Solution: Using Windows Defender

2. Not enough space on 100 GB hard

Solution: Got Larger SSD

Note; DO NOT USE Windows Dynamic disk...unless you REALLLY understand what it going to do. I thought that it would solve my problem by connecting my two SSD and effectively giving me 60gb more space. When changed to dynamic disk then Operating system no longer work . so yoiu have load windows on another drive and use it . the data is still on the and can be retrieved.
