Problem running program


posted by tebby on May 07, 2007


Am trying to install Midisaurus for windows 98 on an XP sp2 machine. It installs but when I try to run it, I get a popup with "Director Player 6.0" and a message of "This program requires at least 3MB of free virtual memory to run". My VM is 1536MB. Any suggestions?

Change your virtual memory settings to 400 MB minimum and 4000 MB maximum and it runs.
I have the same problem.

This is a common problem in older software. The reason is it was written expecting a small MAXIMUM virtual memory size. When your VM is SO MUCH greater, the number wraps (internally) to a negative value. Thus it thinks you do not have enough.

Additionally, Midisaurus is not certified to run on XP. See this entry in the FAQ for Midisaurus and MidiShare:
