games >> application ran out of memory

by amltbXlnMQ » Sun, 03 Feb 2008 04:47:01 GMT

when running a game in vista (premium 64bit) i get this message:

application ran out of memory when requesting 1048608 bytes

i have 4 gig of ram and dual 3870 graphics cards running in crossfire,
so i know its not due to ram.

anyone know a solution or have any ideas on how to fix this?

What game is it? You might try running in compatibility mode, as well. Some
games do give errors related to memory when not fully compatible with Vista.

Here is a link to the AVSIM forum that may have a solution (although it is
more of a workaround until Vista has a patch that can fix the problem). For
64 bit, you only need to follow the first part. It works for FSX and they
have had success with other games with the out of memory problem as well.

i found out tho that eq2 launcher "repairs" the file
and puts it back to the original setting after it does a file scan.

Everquest 2 seems to have an ongoing problem with the "Out of Memory"
errors, and a lot are related to Vista. There have been many attempts to fix
it, but nothing solid as to a universal fix. I've found countless threads on
the subject and it goes over a year with no fix.

1. Can't run 16-bit windows program - insufficent memory to run this application 

I get this error every time I boot this PC. I have tried copying the
config.nt and autoexec.nt from windows/repair to windows/system32 -
that didn't help.

The PC has 256MB of RAM. When I look at the system resources being
used, the memory shows as being about half full. I have SP2 installed.
I am not seeing any viruses or spyware.

3. The memory could not be read from running an application 

I got the generic . the memory could not be readapplication error
from the window 2000 enterprise version when I tried to use the sqlldr80
( from oracle 8.0.5) application.  Strangely, I only got this error when
I ran it under one particular folder but not under another folder.  The
oracle\bin is set up under the system environment.  Some people
suggested to apply the latest service pack 4 of win 2000.  After I apply
the SP 4, the same error occurred the same way as before only
appearing in one folder not other.  Any other probable cause?   Thanks.

I am trying to run a newly installed program and am getting the following
