I have winme and with 512 mb it runs fine but with 640 mb, when clicking the green flags to enter the race or tests, it shows me two dialogue boxes saying: "Could not initialize the replay system." and "Canceling the weekend." I can view well any replay lap stored in my drive. Whats up? "Malc" <[email hidden]> escreveu na mensagem news:S08J9.73$4k6.9329@wards...

It sure sounds like the "more than 512 MB RAM" error, in the "run" box, type in "msconfig", under "advanced" there's an option to "limit max memory to xxx" or something similar, set it to 512, reboot If it works now you know what the problem is, there's two ways to fix this, one is the more professional way and add a line to to your win.ini limiting something by setting it something, I'm sure someone will fill you in on that if needed, or you can run "msconfig" and set the memory limit as and when needed, sorry I can't remember the other solution Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

it works with 512mb not 640mb. anyone knows how to solve this without giving up 640mb? Using msconfig every time I play gpl is a pain in the... Limiting the memory in some windows config file I can kiss goodbye 128mb. It would be good to do this inside a gpl config file. thanks "Goy Larsen" <[email hidden]> escreveu na mensagem news:[email hidden]... > > > d52 wrote: > > > > I have winme and with 512 mb it runs fine but with 640 mb, when clickingthe

Just add [ Replay ] replayMemoryOverride = 64000 to your core.ini file. You may want to increase the replay size if you race in long races. I have never had a replay that didn't fit in 64Mb though.

I think you have to add something like this to your core.ini: [ REPLAY ] replayMemoryOverride = 128000

thanks, that is it. "Ped Xing" <[email hidden]> escreveu na mensagem news:[email hidden]...

Thanks, that one I already knew. By any chance, do you know if it is possible to increase these 16 bit resources of windows Millennium; system resources, user resources, GDI resources by any patch?

The Patch: Windows XP. ;) Seriously, ME is a horrid piece of code. Going to XP would be one of the best things you could do for your computer. Milhouse "d52" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:at3f4c$vi5ko$[email hidden]...

You are limited by the DOS/Win9x heritage of WinME. The only Microsoft solution is a NT-based OS: NT4, W2K or XP. Resources under the NT kernel are pretty well limited only by available RAM. I made the jump (to NT4... many years ago now) when resource limitations prevented me from doing the work that put food on the table. I've never looked back :) Dale.

Don't run a crappy operating system. 9x and ME are all a bit "internally ancient". Try 2000 or XP Pro - these should solve your excess memory problems and probably fix a few other bugs you have. iksteh "d52" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:at35hq$105iru$[email hidden]... > it works with 512mb not 640mb. anyone knows how to solve this withoutgiving > up 640mb?

Thanks, I was expecting something like that. Eventually some day I'll migrate to a better OS when I have a better hardware. Sure the limitless resources of NT kernel is a good reason to. "Dale Green" <[email hidden]> escreveu na mensagem news:[email hidden]...

hehe, I have tried XP and didn't think it was worth the trouble of getting new drivers for everything, besides, parts of my computer are 4 years old. But ME isn't that bad, it has served me well for the past 1 1/2 years with a single OS installation. That system restore utility really works. I just have to keep controlling the resources meter utility like some motor thermometer and shut down some open applications when it goes hot red. :-) "Milhouse" <[email hidden]> escreveu na mensagem news:at3nnh$3uf$[email hidden]...
