I have a jpg file of 480 MB, pictview can't open it and display the following error: out of memory
Windows built in image viewer can though it took couple of minutes to generate it.

What are the image dimensions (width, height, color depth).
Are you on x86 or x64 Windows?, 32 or 64 bit AS?

Well, this is an expected behavior. 32bit AS can in theory allocate up to 2 GB. Given memory fragmentation and other needs of AS, its plugins and other DLL's loaded into its memory, it is quite unlikely that PV could allocate 1.7GB for a single image.

Hi Jan, I have a 1.4gb image and 32bit AS so I thought I would be fine considering that 1.4gb is below 2gb but I can't open my image either. Does this mean I need to buy more memory?

If you have 4GB RAM, more memory would not help. The problem is probably in PictView allocating large memory blocks. 32bit memory space is fragmented by DLLs, heaps, etc.
