IAmFM07 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi, not sure if anyone can or will help but i have decided to be nostalgic and play cm 01/02 only when i try to start a new game it says not enough system memory. Can someone explain in basic computing terms how i get round this? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Im guessing you have a pretty modern system and the game cant see the memory you have. I think windows has a way to emulate windows 95 or 3.1 to help playing of these games. I just cant remember how to do it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaroq Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Made a desktop icon to the CM 01/02 executable. Right click on it. Select "Properties" On the following menu, select "Compatibility". I suspect you'll want to do all of the following: Compatibility mode for: Windows 95 Run in 640x480 Disable visual themes I don't remember what I did, now, but when I had that hankering playing around with the "Compatibility" screen was enough to get it working; I just tried options on and off until it worked.

Johan_75 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 You can also get that message when you have too MUCH menory, think the limit in 01/02 was 512kb. /JB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cometdude Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I had the same problem when I installed it on my laptop. It has two hard drives and my 'C' drive was getting full so I installed it on 'D' then got the not enough memory message. I went into the properties for that hard drive and enabled virtual memory ( why it wasn't already enabled is beyond me ) and hey presto it worked.
