August 10, 201114 yr What are your other specs? Bob Bob i5, 16 GB ram, GTX 960, FS on SSD, Windows 10 64 bit, home built works anyway.
August 10, 201114 yr You'll get lots of differing opinions on this, but I set virtual memory to let Windows decide. What does event viewer have to say? Bob Bob i5, 16 GB ram, GTX 960, FS on SSD, Windows 10 64 bit, home built works anyway.
August 10, 201114 yr Author Is your FS9 EXE flagged as Large Adress Aware?I don't recall having done that. Is it a must?ThanksWhat does event viewer have to say?I will look at it.Thanks.
August 10, 201114 yr I don't recall having done that. Is it a must?Thanks Do a search in these forums for 'Large Adress Aware', there's a cool little utility out there that let's you update your FS9.exe file. You shouldn't have any problems after that.

You shouldn't have any problems after that.Thanks.I remember having done that when I was under Win XP-32bits (I had also changed the boot.ini). I did not know you would need to patch FS9.exe for 'Large Adress Aware' under a 64-bit system as well.Please confirm.And thank you.Ghiom

You do not need to do anything else in terms of boot.ini or setting any flags - the OS will see what the exe can do and allocate accordingly. DJ

August 10, 201114 yr Can someone please confirm that the utility provided at the link below is all that's needed to make FS9.1 large address aware under Win 7 64 bit? Thanks! http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php
August 10, 201114 yr This does work. Last November I bought a new Windows 7 64bit computer and I was so disappointed when after about an 1 1/2 flight my computer crashed with an OOM error. I never could find out what was causing it but my friends at Jetline Computer where I bought the computer did some research and put that " large address aware" patch on my computer and it NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN even after a 8 1/2 hour flight across the whole USA in a Beechcraft 1900. Yea! Life is so sweet now. Thanks Jetline for your help.
