Jonathan,

I found that setting expanded memory to none leaves more far memory available internal to Fractint. The other settings at Auto are fine. This still doesn't provide enough memory to run your formula in disk video mode without using debug=4200. Can you explain why you need to run XP without net services? Are you loading TSR programs?

I did that a long time ago as I wanted
a fast and safe XP edition without the
slowdowns and interruptions by antivirus,
firewall and network activities, like
the updating terror -
and a fractint without pixel errors.
I got all that. Of course I only need
root updates for xp.
All services except ASP.Net and
DNS client are set to local and
disabled if possible. Sofar all software
is running w/o problems, games only local
which I regard as an advantage.
In vesa mode all resolutions incl 1600/1200
are available and I even have some free
resources so I can run the newdos
commander to start fractint.
No TSR programs.
In my regular XP edition I cant run
multifractal_10 either, version 9 is ok.
