Ah, how I've missed Bert's tender and loving musings. Truly a candidate for beatification in a world that has sadly become too harsh and unfriendly.
Incidentally, nothing else is running when I try to open the game, except whatever processes keep the damned thing alive in the first place.

When playing FM, Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to get into Task Manager. Then post what it says under PF Usage and also what the figure under 'Physcial Memory Total' is
let me play.
PF usage is at 913MB. physical memory (K); total: 523756, available: 25208, system cache: 112628.
that's with fm, IE, MSN and word open, but that's dangerously low, yes? </BLOCKQUOTE>
Yup you're actually using virtual memory to run most of that. And ive not played the latest FM but from my FM2007 days thats alot of memory being used on that and a few other apps
So now I know that I need extra RAM, how do I work out what version of it I need? A quick look online tells me there are all sorts of different varieties. If I buy in another, say, 512 mb, I still need to know other stuff.
They've got a scanner that will tell you exactly what you have installed or if you know the make/model of the machine it will tell you the standard set up and what RAM is compatible and the max it can take
Have a look on the SPD tab, see what memory you're using and if you've got any free slots, if you have put more in that matches or exceeds the speed of what you've got installed, if no replace some/all of your existing RAM.
Shows you what I know. The Crucial site tells me I've got two slots, but I've got 2 x 256 MB RAM in them. So if I replace them with 2 x 512MB then I think I should be there.
Part of me wonders whether I should just get a new PC but cash reserves are low so I think not.
