Macromedia problem

Question

I get a prompt whenever I try to play a Macromedia file, like snocraf or any other of that type of file. The prompt says" Program requires at least 3 MB of free virtual memory to run." I do not understand this because my PC has a huge amount of RAM ( 1.25 MB) I also have a P4 chip & a 120 GIG Hard Drive. Please help.

fcrem, How much memory do you really have?  You could not have 1.25mb of memory.  Hold down the windows key and press Pause/Break.  You will see the amount of ram memory you have.

It says 1.25 GB of RAM.

fcrem, Ok, it's GB not MB. Hold down the Windows key and press the Pause/Break, click the Advanced tab, then Performance settings, Advanced tab, Virtual memory change.  Your min paging file should be 1.875gb and your max should be 3.750gb or 'System managed size'

As I pointed out to you in your previous post on the same issue, I think that it is a bad installer for the snowcraf file, as I got the same message (needs 3MB) when I tried to install that file. I doubt that there is anything you will gain by adjusting your pagefile.

However, I found a german download site which does give workin version.:-)

Double click on the downloaded file, if you get a message click run and the game opens.

As the game does not use language it will play just as well in English.

I gave you the translated instructions in your other thread.

PS and here is an English language site that downloads a working version:

Thanks JohnK325 for your help I'm set at "System Managed Size" right now but I've tried other settings & get the same 3MB promt.

To Jrosenfeld: Thank you for your help. I tried both versions & I still get the prompt.
