Re: st: Problems running xtgls on Large N panel

["Rafael Terra de Menezes" <rflterra@hotmail.com>]

Thanks James! The problem is that Stata only allocates 250Mb, I checked the 
amount of RAM in my computer and there is 1 Gb. For values of "set memory" 
higher than 250m stata returns the message "system refuses to provide 
memory". I tried to close all the programs, but it didn't work out. I heard 
someone saying that this problem concerns windows XP, which allocates memory 
in small blocks, honestly I didn't understand it! If there is another way of 
allocating memory it would be of great help.
