I started Fs9 this morning and a message came up saying "Not enough Memory to run Simulator, closing now"....I got this message a few months ago and I haven't made a drastic change since the last time I saw it. I checked google forums but no help..My PC specs are as follow....
AMD Athlon 64 3500+/2.2 GHZ
L2 Cache
ATI Radeon Xpress 200
DDR SDRAM
My graphics controller status is saying 256 MB Max does that mean I can't install a larger Graphics Video Card....I tried installing a Graphic Card but it can't fit into the slot...I need help guys..'not a pyschiatrist tho..lol..;)

What's your RAM, Tristan ? Is your virtual memory (Page File) system managed or is it set to a fixed value ?

For 1 GB RAM I would set the page file to Initial 2 GB and max 2 GB (that's what I mean by fixed)

Ahhh - I think your problem is that you added an odd number of RAM ...
You said you added 1GB making your total 1GB 512MB - you have to add GB in equal amounts - so you should have added either a 512 Chip or taken the 512 out and gotten 2 x 1GB chips - never heard of a 1.512GB RAM
I may be off here - but that may be part of your issue

so either 512*512*512*512 or 1G*1G...what makes the mix bad enough to say no memory when it's a memory card?

You can certainly add RAM in mismatched amounts; it'll turn of Dual Channel but that's not the end of the world; around a 10% degradation.

I read that it can be a cache problem so I took it off for the night and when I booted it up I ran System Mechanic and they said everything was fine...I would do what Adam says first if that doesn't work then I'll go purchase another GB and take the 512 out, probably give it to my sister and hopefully I can be up and flying again!!!

I used to have that system, and I would get that message every once in awhile. So I just restarted the computer and it worked fine

Your problem isn't a lack of memory; it's a memory leak in some software.

Ok, so what do you think i should do Luke?
MEaning something is absorbing too much memory? (pardon my ignorance)
Ive been browsing around FS Auto Start for serveces and programs to stop before launching FS. Is this a right way to start?
Cheers

I'd be checking Task Manager to see what is using all of your memory.

Ok. Ill do it on my next flight.
Though it does help for me to change the max memory to 4092? My system is recommending 4987. Should I put that?
Thanks for tips.
