If you're running on WinXP, you can edit your boot.ini to allow XP to use 4GB of RAM instead of the 3GB limitation it has now. Please see this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 85%29.aspx
"To enable 4GT, use the BCDEdit /set command to set the increaseuserva boot entry option to a value between 2048 (2 GB) and 3072 (3 GB).

Windows Server 2003 and earlier: To enable 4GT, add the /3GB switch to the Boot.ini file. The /3GB switch is supported on the following systems:

* Windows Server 2003
* Windows XP Professional"

OK, I'm running XP Pro with 4GB installed...only can use 2GB.
Brought up the Boot.ini through msconfig, clicked advanced, and only had the option to run up to 2048KB.

Assistance Please, I have trouble talking and interpreting MicroSoft. Probably have to get in the root cmd prompt level...Yikes... :woohoo:

No, I put in the flag. It's there, there is nothing that you can do. It just means that it should be able to use between 2-3 rather than just around 2.
Ah ok, well I tried the full army thing, had to put EVERYTHING on medium for it to even start, and when it started the battle lasted about 45 seconds, thats when meade got -1600 and lost the battle.

So it ran, that's good. Now just have to set the conditions so that it doesn't end too early.

Hi Reb,

Don't use the arrow keys, just type in 4096 into the box and click "ok", then "ok" again to exit msconfig.

You would then want to restart your computer for this to take effect.
