Barkermush Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm thinking about installing CM01-02 i downloaded it for free from the Championship Manager website a while back, still got it burnt on a disk some where. Might have a crack at it for old times sake, pass sometime whilst i'm waiting for the 10.3 patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

masticator Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 the cheeky old game has stated, "there is not enough system memory to create the game. please free up some more and try again" i know my laptop is a wee bit clogged but i think it has enough left to run this! weird. anyone have any ideas? how much system memory can a 10 year old game possible need??

ahmufcwafc Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Try running the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode. Right click the CM shortcut on your desktop, click properties, click compatibility, then run in compatibility mode with Windows 98/Windows Me. Worked for me.

aaron1606 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 The problem is that there's too much memory, ironically. You need a program called QfixApp from the Application Compatibility Toolkit. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=24da89e9-b581-47b0-b45e-492dd6da2971&displaylang=en then, from memory you do: Run QFixApp On "Layers", select "ProfilesSetup". On "Fixes", select GlobalMemoryStatusLie. Click "Browse" and navigate to the game executable and double click it. Click "Run", and play the game. After you have checked the box click the advanced button and then click the create fix support button it will then ask if you want to install the fix click yes and it will be permanently implemented into a fixes database so CM will run every time.

masticator Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 yeah i kinda thought there was a program i needed. which one do i download from the link you provided mate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron1606 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Application Compatibility Toolkit.msi The guide on how to do it may be wrong, its been a while, but you definitely need to set the GlobalMemoryStatusLie for the CM0102.exe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
masticator Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 there is loads of links to download stuff on that site but im not sure which does it. any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron1606 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 click 'Download files below' where it's written on a blue background above 'Quick Details'. That takes you down the page to a list of six downloads. Download the 11.0mb file 'Application Compatibility Toolkit.msi' - 4th one down. Does that help?

masticator Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 okay mate ive downloaded that. what next? sorry to be such a dim wit/pain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVH5150 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Did you try compatibility mode first? On your cm0102.exe icon (the one you use to run the game), right click, Properties, Compatibility Mode. Try Windows XP first, then go back to '98 if you need to. This sometimes fixes the problem without any additional software. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerhgrrrrrr Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Its still a great game - I have been playing recently on the PC, BUT (and I dont understand these things) I read a while back that the way that game uses memory it can in some cases "fry" a laptop's processor ? May want to check that out, as I say it makes no sense to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

salitr Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 hi lads. How can i run Champman 3? please help. i have windows 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Recent changes to how Windows deals with today's DRM management has meant that many older games will not run on newer operating systems. You could try right-clicking on the desktop icon after installation and select compatibility mode and then select one of the older Windows version, but I suspect that this will not work on such an old game.
