Error message - Run out of available memory

[gypsymoth]

FS won't run & I get a message I've never seen before.

What has memory to do with disk space?
To make sure it's a legitimate Windows warning message rather than a malware trying to deceive you into downloading some fake cleanup tool, please post the exact entire text of the message, or better yet a screenshot of the alert window.

I've not been asked to download anything just run Windows cleanup.   I've got 2GB of memory so I don't know, like you, wjat it means....this is new today for the very first time.

you will see that warning message when you have too many things running at 1 time, and you do not have enough RAM to run FS.

Thanks. The FS I am talking about is Golden Wings & it's stopped working in my gamimg machine as well as the laptop.

I would still run the WINXP optimization that is outlined in the FSX forum no matter what the game / or system.  You will free up a lot of space.

As for your Golden Wings programs... I do not have these, nor have I ever heard of them.   But a few simple standardized questions may apply.   Have you downloaded anything for it in the past 3 days?  If you did, try removing it and going back to default.   Something has corrupted that 'game', or you installed something that caused it to become too big and require too much memory.

Another suggestion that I could offer, as a system cleaning utility, is CCleaner (www.ccleaner.com).  You can clean your HDD of unneeded files (cookies, temp internet files, etc) run ADD/REMOVE programs with it, even SAFELY clean your system registry with it.    -- every time I run it, I clean out at least 200MB of crap that gets built up over time.  [downfall=if you have stored passwords on websites, you will have to type them back in as the cookies will be deleted]

[color=#000000]All good advice. But you don't have to lose everything when running CCleaner. Open CCleaner, go to Options and then Cookies. Select the ones you want to keep in the left pane (cookies to delete) using control + click for multiples and then click on the right arrow to move them to the right pane (cookies to keep).

Also, there is a program called Ultimate Defrag you can download from cnet for free. It may not be quite as good as O&O, but it is a lot better than Windows defrag. It also gives you the ability to choose which files go to the outside of the disc (faster access) and which ones to archive or move to the inside of the disc. These things will help your computer run cleaner and faster, regardless of the game.

There is still confusion here.
The error message (which has not been posted literally yet) is about *disk space* and not about *available RAM*.

Thanks for info.

I've copied GW3 back into the Awd-it without addons.  I added the Duxford scenery & got that message so it would seem I had/have a conflict with that.......the laptop's GW3's working too
