I am using a 64 bit machine, with 64gb of ram and I keep getting an error when opening an assembly file that states I am short on memory. I checked my processes and the process for creo is xtop exe *32, does this mean that it is using the 32 bit version of Creo? I am not sure how to check as IT dept set up the workstation. I tried on another workstation with less memory and no problem, file opens fine, the whole process used 8.3 GB, this process was just called xtop.exe.

You didn't mention what version of Creo or what app. I'm assuming Creo Parametric.

However, I think back to Proe WF5 there has only been one installer for both 32 and 64 bit workstations so it's not possible to install the wrong one.

I have a 64 bit WS too and I get xtop.exe *32 as well. I assume that's normal, but I'd love to understand what the *32 means.

Im using Creo Elements Pro M170.

I spoke with TEch support at PTC and they said it was a 32 bit installation. I have several 64 bit workstations and they all say xtop.exe.

Interesting.

I jsut checked my installations fo WF4, WF5, Creo 1 and Creo 2. All are using 64 bit xtop.exe, I was mistaken.

However, in Creo 1 & Creo 2, parametric.exe has the *32 by it. I wonder if that's right?

I have the same error - PTC Creo trial Player with Creo Parametric 4.0 (trial version).

Too fixed I use Windows update for universal c runtime in windows 299226  Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu .

Attention from selection with type of windows use (W 7 x64, W 8 x32, W 10x 64........).

After this update work great Creo - unfortunately I lost 15 day from trial.

All the best,
