I installed a couple of oval tracks to my gpl directory (using the converter ) but now GPL wont start up, I get messages like "Not enough free memory to run gpl.exe" I re installed GPL on my other hard drive and it works fine ....Why is that?
Your harddisk might have been nearly full. Since Windows might use it as virtual memory, this could be interpreted as a lack of memory. Windows isn't very clever with its virtual memory: simultaniously, windows uses HD-space as virtual memory and RAM-space as disk-cache. Therefore, it is possible that valuable physical memory is used for disk-caching in order to speed up disk-acces while your system is slowed down because the memory is full and virtual memory is used.... My advice: use as little Virtual memory as possibel. grtngs, hgrm "Semi" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:951eu9$1hk$[email hidden]... > I installed a couple of oval tracks to my gpl directory (using the > converter ) but now GPL wont start up, I get messages like "Not enoughfree > memory to run gpl.exe" > I re installed GPL on my other hard drive and it works fine ....Why isthat? > >

It should work. If it doesn't then one of the addons is the problem good luck! hgrm
