About 3/5 way through (about 35,000 items), I then used the Catalog Wizard to catalog the files on G Drive (an internal HD), left for a couple of hours and came back and found that ACDsee was logged out -- does it close after this operation?
I dont remember ACDSee actually closing but it doenst take all that long to catalog - I have a 520GB hard drive and from memory it only took about 20 minutes maybe less to use the wizard the first time
>I have 1.99GB of RAM -- how can I tell how much of it is used for ACDsee<
Make sure ACDsee is the only thing you have open - Press ALT CONTROL DELETE to access the task manage - click on Performance and see what the numbers are - if you don't do any regular basic computer maintence then your system might be a bit overloaded - its always good practice before you install a new program to do a clean disk/scan disk and even a defrag - and you should disable your virus protection temporarily - this will ensure a clean install.
also freezes up on me.
It will freeze if you dont let it load properly all the way through before you do something - in the bottom right hand corner when you first start is a little percentage number - this shows you how far its getting - Don't do anything til its at 100% or disappeared - this is essentially the program loading your files including any new stuff you have added since you last opened and depending on your collection might take a few minutes - once its loaded though you should not have any further problems
I also have digi supplies on C drive -- do I need to get them all on one drive?
Nope - I have C drive and D drive and can catalog on both fine
HTH
When I was cataloging individual items I used the properties-database panel on right instead of organize panel, did that make a difference?
Shouldnt have
I dont know the answer to that not having used teh catalog wizard
