The game installed, but when I start it up it has a warning that says it
needs at least 200MB swap memory to run correctly, and that my swap was at
-2000MB. I checked in the System section of control panel and the virtual
memory was at 1500, so I dont understand why it wont work. Well it worked for
10 minutes, but then my computer turned black and froze, and I had to reboot.
I have a Gateway 7426GX, 100GB HD, AMD64 Athlon, 1GB RAM, 2.41GHz, if you
needed to know
 
The memory error is not your problem. Alot of older games have problems
with swap files (IIRC larger than 200mb???, not sure on the exact
value). Try lowering your pagefile value to like 100-200 or something.

Although like I said that's not the problem with the game and I
wouldn't recommend leaving the pagefile at that value.


If your computer froze then you have a problem. This game is pretty old
so I doubt that it's pushing the hardware much so I doubt this is a
heating issue. Are you sure that the computer "froze"?
