FSX running out of memory
I checked the link below, and it does not give anything as to how to fix the
problem Maybe I should've mention that I'm using Vista Ultimate 64Bit, so the 2Gb is not an issue here "Katy Pluta" wrote in message ...

I had a problem some time ago with a Photoshop program that kept giving me out of mem errors. Turns out I had gone from 1GB to 2GB RAM but XP did not readjust the virtual memory. Manually bumping it up to max resolved the issue. I don't know if the same applies to Vista but worth a try. I am on vista now (new PC) with 3GB RAM( added 1GB recently) and an 8800GTS card but have not tried FSX yet to see if I have issues. 2) Some report using 16 bit instead of 32 bit in the video settings of FSX may solve the problem. 3) Majority of the errors seem related to 8800 series cards as well so as usual make sure you have the latest drivers Good luck and would love to know when you resolve it Bill |

Might just go to microsoft.com and find the FSX support site, they might have troubleshooting for this problem. BTW, why are you running the game at 16bit color? Since Quake 3 I can't live without 32-bit color. |

FSX running out of memory
I'm running 16bit for the color, because i allows me to play a little
longer, if I use the 32bit color FSX crashes after about 15min "Andy [YaYa]" wrote in message news "Bill" wrote in message ... "Martin Racette" wrote in message ...

FSX running out of memory
I have been using FSX since last November. I bought a Dell 720 XPS with a Core 2 QUAD Q6600 2.4 MHrz and 3GB Ram. I have VISTA 32 bit Home Premium OS and I have a NVIDIAGeForce 8800 GTX Video Card and a 1TB7200 Hard Drive. The FSX has run great in stock mode (no add ons) with good frame rates. I recently purchased some aircraft add-ons and also installed Ultimate Terrain X and Ground Environment X. Now I can't make a flight over 30-40 minutes without the simulator just freezing. It gives me the out of available memory dialogue box and I've just wasted my flight time. I've tried finding solutions. Dell sold me a memory stick to configure in ready boost mode to supposedly increase memory above the 3GB that came with the computer. I think I got bad advice as that didn't do anything at all to resolve the memory problem. I'm really loosing the joy I used to have with this flight sime stuff and am desperately trying to get some good advice. I'm not a high tech computer person so I need some advice I can understand. Would appreciate any recommendations.
