Problem with bouncing tracks in Logic 4

I have quite an ancien set up: Logic Platinum 4.7 on Powerbook with OS 9. Has served me extremely well for years. But, last night, for some reason, it stopped working for me.

I can't bounce! It says that it needs "-3,3 MB of free memory"
How can it need a negative amount of memory? Or am I too dumb to figure out what that means?

And when I click OK to save my track as an aiff file, it says not enough memory on the hard drive (although I have 8 GB free).

Anyone knows what to do? Please help ASAP - I have no money to upgrade the system!

Thanks.

igor....that is a strange one....can't think of anything at the moment...will keep pondering this...

do you have an old copy of your prefs ?

is your drive partitioned?

i am personally leaning toward an OS issue and not Logic

do you have an external drive ? try exporting to that

anyone else ?

try double-clicking on the number beneath the tempo/time signature in the transport bar. this will reorganize/defragment the computer's ram.

hope this helps

best regards

Oh good old OS9!

Try trashing the preferences (logic).

Then rebuild the desktop.

Keep a spare copy (of the preferences) just in case that doesn't work- because you will have to set everything up again Shocked
