When I try to run the \"run_me_first.bat\" file, the following message pops up on my screen:

---=

Not enough memory available to run this program.

Quit one or more programs, and try again.

----

I cleaned out my computer, I deleted all the useless files I had. I have around 500 megabytes of space left. Isn\'t that enough? Or am I mistaken?

Please clear this up for me.

Woah, you either have a hell of a lot of stuff on your comp, or that thing is ooooooooooold. :P

Post your specs for us to have a look at. When it talks about memory, it\'s referring to RAM, not hard disk space. If you don\'t have enough RAM to load the game, then your only option is to buy more.

(PS generally requires upwards of 256mb... but who has less than that on a gaming PC these days anyway? :P)

500mb of free space is hardly anything at all. Especially with Windows. Even though MB doesn\'t take 500mb to install windows does have to store temporary files and many things like that when it is running programs. Also how much physical memory do you have, you know RAM?
If all you have left is 500mb of hard drive space then you are going to have alot of problems in general, the new release Crystal Blue is being tested and my guess is is that if that is all the hard drive space you have you will not be able to run CB also.

Post your computer specs also please.

EDIT: Bah Moogie beat me to it :D

:rolleyes: Nothing personal Moogie, but that error usually means the file is corrupted, but not in the header.

Try to run the new run_me_first (Sticky in Technical Help)
EDIT: Now that\'s humor :)

*Smacks himself in the head*

Oops, I made a mistake. Sorry, I\'m an idiot when it comes to computers.

I have 3.86 Gigabytes, not 500 megabytes.
