Just throwin this out there....Im having problems installing games in Win XP Home edition.....I have installed NHL2004
also Madden2004 with no problems.....both games play as they should.....But I cannot install Tiger Woods2004 and Microsoft Flight Sim2004....I dont get it....They both start to install then the computer just reboots itself. On another attempt it said either low mem or low swap file.....both should be more than enough....512meg memory...Any ideas ?

Amd 1.333
512 mem
k7vza mobo
gforce5600fxUltra 128meg

Do you have pagefile enabled? Is it static or does windows control it?

Not sure of the solution because I didn't have any problems with TW2k4 on my XP Home box, but if you check the support forums on EASports web page, there are several posts about people having this same problem.
I'm pretty sure the resolution IS there though....
:D

Yes Pagefile is enabled....I did discover that I was able to install both games in safe mode.....I dont know why.....but at least I got the games in and both play very well.
