OOM in XP now

Recommended Posts

I have two systems, Vista 64 and XP Pro. I have applied the OOM hotfixes for Vista and don't have a problem, but, having installed Acceleration on my XP system (3GB RAM) I am now getting OOM errors when accessing World/Map. This didn't happen pre-SP2.There doesn't seem to be a hotfix for XP, does anyone have a solution?George

Thank you very much Manny, the /3G switch seems to have cured the OOM errors even when running a very large app together with FSX.Unfortunately it has a strange side effect, FSScreen now doesn't work at all. As I run two monitors in "Dual view", ScreenHunter thinks that "full-screen" is monitor 1 only, it sees both screens in "Horizontal span" but that causes other problems.George

I can't even imagine that the the switch is the problem for your monitor issue.Manny

The switch only affects FSScreen, without it, FSScreen captures both screens, with the switch it gives an error. ScreenHunter (with or without the switch) can capture both screens but only in Horizontal Span mode. I've also tried AceWin and YAFScreen and both fail.GeorgeBTW, FSScreen doesnt work in Vista 64.
