Hi peeps
I have the Unreal Tournament G.O.T.Y. edition and I cannot get it to start up under Win2k PRO (all compatability updates installed, DX7.0a). When I run the game it starts to load and then bombs out with the error:-
"Ran out of virtual memory, Please free up some space on your primary hard drive." (Or words to that effect).
I have 6GB free on my C drive (not set to dynamic drive), the windows page file resides on this drive and is set to minimum 512MB, maximum 1024MB. I have tried increacing this to 2048MB but it still bombs. I very much doubt that the program is really running out of page file because I can't think of many apps that would require more than 1GB of page file, especially as I have 512MB RAM in my system.
I have run a real time memory monitor on my system to try to see what is happening. The results show that upon loadup, UT fills main RAM then bombs before it pages any processes to hard disk.
My system is fully defragged and error checked and I am running the latest official release drivers from Nvidia.
This cannot be a gfx or sound issue though because it wont even start the game in UTs safe mode (No 3d acc, sound or other stuff).
I've tried moving my ram around to different slots and also tried substituting the modules with some from another system.
I've tried reinstalling windows (format and clean install) and only installing my necessary drivers and UT but it still is having none of it.
I've tried setting UT to run at different cpu prioritys with no effect.
I've been running Win2k for over 2 years now (from beta3) but have never had as much trouble with any other app.
I tried the tech support helpline and they claimed that is was because i had TOO MUCH ram!!!! Silly people.
Anyone have any ideas?
Sys specs:
P3 850
Abit VT6X4 (latest VIA 4 in 1 drivers)
Nvidia GeForce SDR (latest official drivers)
SB Live (Liveware 3)
20GB HDD (non dynamic)
40GB HDD (non dynamic)
2 x 256MB PC133 DIMMS running at 100MHz
