Do another search for the 3GB stuff. You need to set it via a command and you also need to make the program aware by changing a value in the header file of FSX.exe There is a program that does this which is called CCF Explorer. It comes with Explorer Suite from memory and is free.John Veldthuishttp://www.virtualpilots.org/signatures/vpa475.png

Didn't SP2 correct the EXE file to use the extra RAM?

If it really says '/3G' in your boot.ini, try '/3GB'...Martijn

My Fsx.exe header was changed by SP2...

Hi MartijnI don't know why, but everytime I put "/3GB /userva=2560" in boot.ini my system doesn't restart and enters in save mode (I have to rebuild the original boot.ini). By mistake I lost the 'B' and I didn't notest that before you told me, and system was running well (but doing nothing).line original:[operating systems]multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /noexecute=alwaysoffline changed:[operating systems]multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /3GB /userva=2560 /fastdetect /noexecute=alwaysoffI don't know why boot is crashing...Tanks
