leeFMfan Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have an acer aspire 5315 laptop and im tryin to install it.....i have the original disk and i have tried running it via admnistrator with no luck....it says i cant install it cause of not enough memory...it comes up in my DVD:rewriter (E) drive. I have enough memory in my © drive so i need to save the game there perhaps? So bloody annoyed and the new one is out next month and i will slit my wrists if i cant install and play that either. Thanks in ahead for any kind of help.....really appreciate it Lee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 How much ram does your computer have? You seem to be mistaking hard drive space and ram which are two different things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the bottom right of your screen and right click on any icon to see if they can be stopped. Also try temporarily stopping your anti virus as this can sometimes cause issues.

leeFMfan Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Wow slight progress..........i went to Setup then clicked run by administrator .

Neji Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Have you tried restarting the computer? It's a long shot but could work. Oh and stop any extra programs running after it has booted up, before running the installer again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawnisen Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Yea.. Always be up to date with Java, Or you can get easily viruses and other toolbars while being on the internet (that can slow your computer down). Also try to scan for viruses.
