adobe premiere elements 7 memory problems
 

Hi,

Does any one uses adobe premiere elements 7 ?

My beloved wife bought it and installed it on her relatively new Vista laptop.
The program is slow to begin with and is getting supper slow to the point that it crushes left and right :(

She does have 3GB of RAM and over 100GB free HD space.
She loaded few images and added animation for the transaction between them just about 20 images and the amount of memory it takes is about 350MB then she tried to add an mp3 file to the mix for background music - few more minor tweaks and magically it took over 700MB of RAM - at this point it takes about 10-15 min to load the project :(

Any ideas ? ,
Thanks
