Title: FAO people who know about computers Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, March 21, 2007, 17:05:33 My problem is thus: I am trying to play network Football Manager but it keeps crashing saying that it is out of 'realised memory'.
How do I create more memory to enable me to enjoy my network games of FM uninterrupted? Title: FAO people who know about computers Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, March 21, 2007, 18:44:00 How much memory do you have?

Are you hosting the network game?
Basically 512mb isn't that much anymore but you probably shouldn't be getting all of those errors. Do you have other stuff running at the same time?

Do you have other stuff running at the same time? no, the host is the one with the best PC, and I make sure nothing else is open when we are playing. How do I check about virtual memory and stuff. You'll have to forgive me I am a bit of a gimp when it comes to computers!! Title: FAO people who know about computers Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, March 21, 2007, 19:05:41 Right click on my computer and select the advanced tab. Then performance button. Then at the bottom it should say how much virtual memory.
Doesn't sound like a virtual memory problem though. What's the exact message you get with the problem? Are you sure it says "realised memory" and not "released memory"?

I think it may have been realised memory actually :oops: Initial Size 512MB Maximum Size 1024MB Title: FAO people who know about computers Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, March 21, 2007, 19:12:52 Change the initial size to 1024mb and keep the maximum size the same.
Other than buying more memory and cleaning up spyware/viruses there isn't much else you can do. If you ctrl + alt + delete, how many running processes are there?

Cool, have done that. ctrl + alt + delete when I have FM2007 running is jus FM2007 and ActivSurf Agent whatever that is. Title: FAO people who know about computers Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, March 21, 2007, 19:26:04 That's programs. You need to do the same again and select the 'processes' tab. The number of processes is displayed at the bottom left of the window

Nearly had to format the pc and reinstall windows but luckily managed to just run the recovery utility. Phew!

Title: FAO people who know about computers Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:43:40 iexplore.exe is winning with 61k
Title: FAO people who know about computers Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:44:36 How do I know which ones I need and which ones I don't. When I am running FM2007 I don't really want anything running, am I ok to get rid of all of them??
Title: FAO people who know about computers Post by: jayohaitchenn on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:46:01 no no no. most will be system programs that run all the time. You need them. Generally speaking you should be able to stop the ones under your username, but google the image name first to make sure you don't need it

Thanks for all your help everyone, much appreciated.

If you are using windows XP, set a system restore point and fuck about to your hearts content.
a reboot should fix any problems you get from this, but it's best to be safe Title: FAO people who know about computers Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 17:12:06 Quote from: "jayohaitchenn" but they are still running in the background as you have discovered.

And while your there run disc cleanup and then defragment your hard drive.
