Seems VSD is using quite a bit of my memory and I have 1GB RAM. Is this normal???? Makes my system very slow...

Which version of VSD are you using? 5.8.3 is the latest build.

That's what I'm using. I uninstalled 5.8.2, rebooted my computer and installed 5.8.3. That fixed the runtime errors I was having, but this html/flash tool is really frustrating!

I am not following the issue you are having. I see you have 2 threads going. To keep this easer to follow, please just post to one thread.

Ok, I'll keep just one post - I think this is all related anyway. I can build a photo gallery just fine. Everything appears to be good when I am in Photo gallery. The problem comes in when I tried to put the code in VSD. Whether I use the new Flash Tool or the html tool, VSD freezes for about 5 minutes when I draw the box for the code. It finally opens the Add XML box and lets me look for my xml. I find it, select it and then it freezes VSD again for another 5 minutes or so. When it finally "lets go" and I try to save my website, once again, it freezes up. I had to use Task Manager to stop the VSD process last time. Any suggestions are appreciated.
