Default BOOT Advanced options memory problem


Hello guys.

I have got a problem. Ok basically I bought a whole new computer a
while ago. It came with Vista Home edition 64 bit. Now on my old
computer with xp I use to play a lot of games, and a game such as
"Arma-Armed Assault". Well I found out that Arma can not be played with
vista that is over 4 GB of ram. On here I have 8Gigs.

So I found a solution to this problem by going o my system config,Boot,
Advanced options. There I had brought my maximum memory from 7936 which
was what it came with to 3072 which it is at now. And I applied it, and
restarted my comp, and wonderfully my Arma game worked.

Now that I am no longer playing Arma, and have Arma 2. I wanted to
bring the maximum memory back up to 7936. But every time I do, and hit
ok, it just goes back to 3072. And It can not go any higher.

So my questions, Is this a problem? and how can I bring it back up to
the original 7936 memory(if i can).

Thank you.

Hi,
have you tried to reconfigure boot settings in safe mode, i think it wont
save your settings otherwise.
Im assuming you mean the memory settings in msconfig.
Probably security settings preventing it from saving and needs to be run in
admin mode or just boot into safe mode, F8 at startup and then run msconfig
again.
Regards,
Graham...
