There's your answer right there. The game must need hard drive space for it's virtual memory file and either there isn't enough alocated, or there isn't enough space available.

I've never played the game, but look around in the options menu(s) and see if there are any setting related to this. You also might want to check how much space on your hard drive you do have - it might not be enough.

Virtual Memory is used if you don't have enough physical memory installed. Then if your hard drive is nearly full or highly fragmented, there's not enough space left to create virtual memory on your hard drive. I'd suggest adding more memory. How much do you have installed?

Second, I edited the title of your thread to remove the vulgar acronym. Bad language isn't allowed on PC Mech even in abbreviated form. Even if you meant Why The Frustration, don't use it again.

Looks like the error report says 512MB. In that case, try increasing your pagefile: http://www.pcmech.com/show/optimize/677/7 (scroll down to the bottom of the page)

What game is it, btw?

I missed the 512 Force, thanx for the heads up.

Lowrider, have you checked your pagefile settings to see what they are set to?
