Hi Mark,

Where is AIJ installed on your machine? Windows 10 has locked down the
"Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)" directories and made it
difficult for 3rd party programs (or at least AIJ) to write to those
directories. It can be set up to work, but you must go to the AIJ
installation directory and give read/write access to the directories and
sub-directories. It is much easier to just install AIJ in your user
directory or even more specifically in the Documents directory, which is
usually more well know to most users. Also, after you change the memory
setting, close AIJ and reopen it to make sure the new settings are still
there by clicking at the bottom of the AIJ toolbar as you reported
below. If you have 16 GB of memory, I would set the AIJ to memory to ~
12000Mb. The memory is not actually used unless AIJ needs it.

Regarding your last question, AIJ DP requires the same binning for
calibration and science images. The bottom line is that the calibration
images and science images must have the same pixel dimensions for DP to
process the files.

If the above info regarding your memory issue does not solve you
problem, let me know and we can go from there.
