"the game requires at least 3mb of free virtual memory to run".. and the game wont start... can you guys help... its imperetive to my aunties teaching course... thanx guys

    Recommend you follow the instructions on how to change your pagefile (aka virtual memory) size in this Microsoft KB titled, How to set performance options in Windows XP

    Virtual memory is on the HDD and is known as paging (page file). Go to start> control panel> performance and maintenance> system> Advanced tab> under performance click settings> Advanced tab> under virtual memory, check the size of the page file. Click change.> click system managed size> save settings and exit. What you are doing is letting Windows set an appropriate page file size. See if that works.
