considering there are no sym[something].dll files in plaeshift
I would say that you windows is badly bloated or you don\'t have enough RAM to make planeshift run
what are your computer specs ?
how much virtual memory did you give to windows ?
(on XP : right click on my computer, go to properties, then go to the advanced tab, there click the setting button in the performance box, go to the advanced tab again in the newly opened window, and theree in the bottom box (Virtual memory) you should have informations about your page file size and a button to change it if it is too low)
edit : actually mogura has a thread that details how to change your swap/virtual memory/pagefile settings
