Thereby, you can improve the performance of windows vista or windows XP. Windows vista, XP and other windows OS use virtual memory to safeguard computers from instability and system crashes due to insufficient memory.
Insufficient memory or RAM may be caused by too many resource intensive applications running simultaneously on the computer. When you computer runs out of RAM to run a program, Windows uses the virtual memory. When the computer does not have enough RAM to run a program i. The default location of the page file is the root directory of the partition where Windows is installed. Swapping the data to and from the paging file, frees up RAM to complete its work.
Thus, virtual memory is a temporary solution to low RAM on your computer, as your applications can continue to run smoothly. However, it is always better to increase RAM when you receive frequent warnings for low virtual memory.
As a temporary solution, you can increase the size of your paging file and continue to run your programs. Though windows can automatically manage paging file size, you can also manually change the size of virtual memory, if the default size is not enough for your needs. Note that you can increase paging file size without a restart but decreasing the paging file size, through the custom size option, will require you to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
As I said, I'll pick up a copy of XP if necessary, but I'd like to try everything else possible before taking that route. Thanks for chiming in, just the same. You won't be able to run programs on the other OS even if you did dual boot. Of course you could set up a gaming only OS using tinyXP. I'm racking my brain coz we ran into this error before, but damn if I can remember the exact cause or cure.
As I recall it was something to do with G2 seeing too much memory on install winblows does not have a memory message for too much, so Insufficent pops up instead. Try pulling out a stick leaving 1GB total. Then after it installs you can add your memory back in And damn if I can remember it.
Screwit, give it a shot. Maybe me ole brames will start working long enough to remember lol. Well, here's hoping you come up with whatever solution you found before, Uriziel, as I just attempted to install the game using the method you suggested removing all memory but 1 GB.
I had to cut down a lot of Vista's aesthetic extras to get the OS up and running, yet, unfortunately, it didn't make a difference when it came to Gothic 2. The game simply refuses to install on Vista. Thanks anyways, mate, I appreciate it There are a couple of things that can cause this. One is a corrupted normal. So let's start witht he simplest to try and that is replacing the normal. Click on Start, go to Search, and in the Search box type normal.
There should be a search option that you can check for 'search hidden files', make sure that is checked. It may be hard to find because it is a hidden file. You may have to go into folder options and be sure "show hidden files" is checked. Whenever you find normal. Open Word and it will create a new normal.
