There's a good point, he never said exactly why it started "working" again in the first place.

i'm not sure why it's working it's probably updated driver (or i tried to update) but anyways it's now working until the game starts

anyways i have over 17 Gb here left so i wonder why it says that i don't have memory

anyways debugg... and yes game settings is cakewalk because i just wanted see is this game working

The others ment RAM not hardrive space

With that, you should have more RAM, but first you could try to increase your "page file" to 2GB and see if that helps.

But Windows XP and only 190MB of RAM.. XP feels comfortable at 512MB, but if you can upgrade I suggest to get 1GB at least.

I have all the recommended space for everything, and I still have the same problem as berry How can I fix it?

2 things berry. One, the driver didn't update. Two, the game's regional settings must be US english, because the decimal is different, and the game won't work without it. Get those two things fixed and the game might run. But I doubt it, because that RAM is tiny, you definately need a new one to keep gaming.

TB, same as everyone else, debug.err please

noob question

how can incrace my RAM? do i must remove things or is buying more onlu option?

Buying more. But the driver issue is more important. They MUST update properly or the game has no chance of running.

Did you go to this website and follow the directions to a T? The only concievable way that this game might work is if you get off the 2002 drivers and up to some modern ones.

OMG! Everyone one look at my debug.err

This Game workx great!!!

Games designers/producers/devlopers put minimal requirments on there boxs for a reason.
If you computer isnt up to par. Dont buy the game, or better yet buy the game and upgrade your comp or buy a new one.


Runnig with the latest beta, just finished large gal, 5civs, all new options on and crashed only once.(10yr game) Am lovin it !


Berry things that need to be done-
1.if you have a laptop get OMEGA drivers cats from ati.com WILL NOT WORK! http://www.omegadrivers.net/

2.Upgrade your memory, go to www.hp.com and look up your model number to get further info, or post your laptops model number and i can look it up for you.

3.Update your game ver to at lest 1.0x fixs a lot of stablity issues ie- GPU throttling

If that dont work... get a new comp yours is an antique
