The game freezes / crashes with XP or 2k with around 512 MB of RAM “Out of Memory Errors”?
Added on 11/02/2004 @ 10:49:32
Applies to CM 3, CM 99/00, CM 00/01, CM 01/02, CM 4, CM 03/04, FM 2005,
The fix is to be found on your Windows XP CD.. under \Support\Tools and install act20.exe then..
1) open QFixApp (thing you just installed)
2) on Layers select ProfilesSetup
2) on Fixes select GlobalMemoryStatusLie (check it)
3) now from the browse button select cm0102.exe
4) click on Run.. button
5) play the game
(Running)
after you have checked the box click the advanced button and then click the create fix support button it will then ask if you want to install the fix click yes and it will be permanently implemented into a fixes database so cm will run every time, the compatability in the properties of an application are only basic the appwizard gives more detailed options.
Note: There is an alternative solution to applying the QfixApp for those with less than 1 GB but more than 512MB - as long as you make your virtual memory low enough so that the sum of the RAM and the virtual memory does not exceed 1GB.
