<p>I am running Vista 32-bit and had been experiencing this problem since I got an Nvidia 8800GTX 768MB graphics card and began trying to run in High Quality or Extreme Quality.</p><p>I was able to eliminate this problem with the following combination of software updates:</p><p>THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER </p><p>1) Install the latest Nvidia BETA ForceWare driver version 163.11 (August 2, 2007) 64-bit (x64): <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_163.11.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvis...x64_163.11.html</a> 32-bit (x86): <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_163.11.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvis...x86_163.11.html</a></p><p>AND</p><p>2) Install the Microsoft hotfix for KB940105 - "Virtual address space usage in Windows game development" 64-bit (x64): <a href="http://thehotfixshare.net/board/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=2840" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://thehotfixshare.net/board/ind...p;showfile=2840</a> 32-bit (x86): <a href="http://thehotfixshare.net/board/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=2830" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://thehotfixshare.net/board/ind...p;showfile=2830</a></p><p>THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER THESE ONLY WORK IF INSTALLED TOGETHER</p><p>I cannot stress this point enough. Individually, these two pieces of software will not change anything and you will continue to experience the same out-of-memory error because of the 2GB virtual memory address space limitation in Windows 32-bit applications. I have seen several posts stating that the KB940105 patch did not solve this problem. That is because it requires an updated graphics driver to work with the new patch. The latest BETA driver (v163.11) from Nvidia does just that!</p><p>After installing this patch I ran around Qeynos Harbor in Extreme Quality for over 20 minutes and did not crash. I have never been able to do that before now. </p><p>ADAM0S</p>
