	Log in to remove this sponsored message I'm having trouble running Tachyon on a more modern machine. When I try to enter a mission, I get the error "pak_AddPcxImages: Out of Memory!" I find this highly unlikely, since I have 1 GB of ram. (Other stats: Pentium-D @ 3.2 GHz, Windows XP Media Center Edition (a variant of XP Home), nVidia GeForce 6800 w/ 256 MB onboard RAM.) And yes, I installed the 01.00.00.36r patch from the NovaLogic website. Any ideas?

	It's likely that your Windows Swap File is too small. Increasing the Virtual Memory or Swap File will improve overall performance too. RAM is not enough. (Btw, current hardware can only run 1 GB of RAM at one time.) For Windows XP: 1. Go the the Control Panel (from Windows Start menu). 2. Double-click the System item. (This is under Performance and Maintenance if you are in the Category view.) 3. Select the Advanced tab on the System Properties dialog. 4. Click the Settings button in the Performance box. 5. Select the Advanced tab on the Performance Options dialog. 6. Click the Change button in the Virtual Memory box. 7. Enter a larger value into the Maximum Size text field and then press OK on all the dialogs. For large projects you may need to set this as large as 2 or 3 GB (2000 or 3000 MB). HTH
