I have a problem...I installed game Company Of Heroes and in ReadMe minimum system requirements are 512Rams which I have and when I try to lunch the game I get error: ''Not enough virtual memory to run the game. Your system total paging files must be at least 768Mb. Please consult the manual that came with your OS.''

What's the problem?!

So have you messed with the virtual memory settings for your PC? Do you have at least 2GB of free disk space on your C: drive?

Also, do you have a real video card or are you trying to use shared memory motherboard graphics? They steal some of your RAM so you wouldn't really have 512 MB.

I installed the same game on a computer a couple of weeks ago. That machine had 1GB of memory, but it still had issues with virtual memory. If your virtual memory is fixed, just raise it or unfix the value, and that should take care of it.

You need to increase you virtual memory size to around 2gb probably. Go to system properties > Advanced tab. Change the value to 1024-2048 and it should probably be ok. Honestly though, you're going to have a hard time playing that game with just 512mb ram since that is the minimum requirement. Its going to be paging like crazy and take forever to load.

Try setting it to automatic or system managed size. Let windows manage it.
