buzzing_hornet Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I've just downloaded my game file from filefront onto my old man's PC and having placed it in the relevant folder i opened up FM and attempted to load said game, however after a short while loading it says 'Football Manager is running dangerously low on memory', i click ok then it says 'Football Manager has now run of memory and will quit', i click ok and it then shuts down. Now it allows me to open up a different game which is 6000 KB larger in file size, does this have anything to do with it ? What can i do to get it working, as far as memory goes on the PC things are fine, everything runs quickly with no problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzing_hornet Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 I think it was 2GB when he bought it, obviously some of that's taken up but according to the 'system infomation' screen i've got 1.10GB of Physical Memory left and 1.96GB of Virtual Memory left.

buzzing_hornet Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 How much memory is on his hard drive? I'm assuming that's the C: drive i can select in 'my computer' (apologies for my lack of knowledge), when i click on it once it gives you the info on the left hand side and it says the total size is 169GB and there's 98GB of free space.

peter-evo Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hmm... very strange, does it only happen when you are loading up that save game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomHAVFC Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Right click on My Computer>Properties>Advanced>Performance Settings>Advanced>Virtual Memory>Change and then increase your virtual memory This is what I did when this happened to me and now it works fine.

buzzing_hornet Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hmm... very strange, does it only happen when you are loading up that save game? It appears so, i've not had this problem back at home where the PC i play on is considerably weaker in terms of memory and performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
