Out of memory


Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm trying to run James Bond Nightfire

 

-Old game from 2002

-Released on windows XP machines

 

However, when I launch it, I get an instant crash with the 'out of memory' error. This means that I don't have enough RAM available to launch the game, even though I have 2GB+ available to use. 

 

Basically, I have owned this game since 2007. Playing it on:

 

-Windows Vista 32 Bit Laptop (1GB RAM)

-Windows 7 64 Bit Laptop (4GB RAM)

 

Now trying my -Windows 7 64 Bit Desktop (4GB of RAM) Why wont it work?

 

The funny thing is, I have had this 'out of memory' error on both laptops years ago. I somehow fixed it & I cannot remember how! Google is useless 'Nightfire out of memory' brings up pages of old forum threads 10+ years old with no fixes! 

 

It's annoying because I have fixed it in the past & I cannot recall how lol - any help will be appreciated!

Worked in the past on same windows, so you have some missed libraries.

 

all Directx libraries:

Latest drivers for your gpu:

http://uk.download.nvidia.com/Windows/355.60/355.60-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe

 

Also check your C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework64 does you have all frameworks from v2.0 to 3.5

and C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework from v1.0 to 3.5

 

Out of memory error doesn't necessarily mean you haven't enough memory. It can means you haven't appropriate directx libraries. I think after update directx your game should startup.

I'm afraid none of the solutions worked :-( I have all the framework versions & I'm all up to date!

@Mrozy : James Bond Nightfire

 

@Doge : be sure that your swap on c: is well managed by the system (2048/4096) would be enough regarding your amount of ram.

 

don't hesitate to create a new swap on another partition, you have.

 

If you are already using swap on c:, be sure that your disk isn't too full (more than 15% free)

 

let me know
