I am new to Gigasampler. I have loaded Gigasampler LE, also Gigapiano, and Logic\'s Audio entry level package on my PC. I can run Gigapiano on its own without problems but run into error messages when playing a composition with multiple tracks. The error messages indicate problem synchronising midi with audio. Also sometimes a message saying \"system overload\".
I suspect my hard drive which is a basic IDE.
PC spec. is Windows ME, Intel P3/1000, 128 MB RAM, 20 GB and 8 GB Hard drives, Sound Blaster Live card. I have disabled anti virus and other programmes.
Would increasing the RAM help or do I need a faster hard drive? Would appreciate comments.

Need more ram, you\'re system is probably swapping alot.

Thanks - that was the problem. I increased RAM from 128 to 320 mb; error messages have disappeared, and instruments load more quickly.
