I'm afraid where "Minimum Requirements" are concerned, I generally
take these to mean "AVAILABLE" resources.

For example, I have a Vista Ultimate system here.  I am only running
Outlook (not even JAWS), and Task Manager tells me that 48% of my 1.5
GB of memory is in use.  Roughly speaking, that's 750 MB of available
memory.

XP system may run with 512 MB, but by the time you add JAWS and other
applications, your available memory is almost nil, and so the SWAP
file on your hard drive is working overtime.

Frankly, without adaptive software to consider, I'd personally never
consider less than 1 GB of RAM in an XP System other than for very
light use.  Obviously costs where you are may be high, but in the UK
and USA, memory is a relatively low cost commodity, and well worth the
investment given the performance benefits.

hi dan;

Sorry for my late reply,

today, i make a check on my computer and the sibelius web site to see
if i
have anything wrong.

on the site, they said:

Minimum requirements for Sibelius 5 alone:

Windows XP SP2 32-bit or Windows Vista 32-bit, 512MB+ RAM, 350MB hard
disk
space, DVD-ROM drive

And my computer is:

Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 3
Computer:
              Intel(R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
2.41 GHz, 512 MB of RAM

Ok?, but they said:

    Additional requirements for using Sibelius Sounds Essentials and
Kontakt
Player 2, especially for scores with many instruments:
Pentium or Athlon 1.4 GHz (or faster), 1GB+ total physical RAM, 3.5GB
total
hard disk space,
ASIO-compatible soundcard
. You may be able to use Sibelius Sounds Essentials if your computer
doesn't
meet the recommended requirements, but you may find that you cannot
use as
many sounds simultaneously.

The problem isn't on the sound at all,

so, what do u think?

Thanks allot
Cheers
