Help! This action would exceed current feature limitations

I was previously using Live 5 on my laptop (2.26 GHz Pentium M with 2 gigs of RAM), had no problems running it. For various reasons I had to switch to my desktop as my music computer. The specs are 3.2 GHz Pentuim 4 with 1 gig of RAM. Now I get this message quite a bit. "This action would exceed current feature limitations". It pops up even if I'm just trying to load up the industial bass loop. I went through and did all the tips from MusicXP.net to no avail.

Is this just a question of needing more RAM? Do I need a new sound card? (I'm not sure what kind of sound card I have, I don't even know how to check for that). I'm using an Edirol UA-25 as my audio interface. My video card is a 256 Nvidia which is the same as what's in the laptop, so I don't see how that would be the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

specs are fine, irun a dell lappy that has a 3.2 ghz p4 desktop processor and 1 gig and an ati radeon 9700 which is less spec than your nvidia card.

I don't think this error occurs unless you're running a Lite version of Live (bundled with a piece of hardware).

Have you contacted our support team at [email protected] ?

It's the full version of Live 5 that I bought direct from the Ableton site. I just contacted support. Thanks for the link.

What if for example Operator was set to hidden, and you tried to use something in the Library with an Operator. Maybe instead of demo mode, you get this feature limitation message (?)
