You need to upgrade the memory capabilities on your computer, There is not enough memory for you to play that game. Some of the new games require up to a 1/2 gig of free memory for things such as graphics, speed, and complex imagery.

hello there,
Physical dumping in win2k has the same troubleshooting as winNT. there r many many reasons for dumping or know as Blue Screen of Death. most dumping display a message "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". This message means two posibilities:
1. You have installed a new hardware device, and this device causes conflict.the solution is removing or disabling that ardware and re-install it again. if the hardware was the main harddisk, then u have no choice but formatting the computer and install the harddisk third pary if it's available.
2. The cash memory or the harddisk have bad sectors or physical damage. in this case re-install the operating system again to make the OS avoid the bad sector.

You don't have enough memory to run the game. Either buy some more memory if your computer has the room for it, or buy a new comp, get rid of anything you don't need on your comp, or just don't play the game.

more memory would help. also use utilities to clean up your drive every week or so. good idea to check for a site for patches in the game. most computer games have patches for glitches just like u mentioned. also use utilities to defragment your drive.

It is a 'memory stack dump'. Back up your files (word documents, pictures, music etc.. but not programs) to an external source like CD and reimage your computer. (format your hard drive and reinstall your software).
