Hi, not sure if anyone can or will help but i have decided to be nostalgic and play cm 01/02 only when i try to start a new game it says not enough system memory. Can someone explain in basic computing terms how i get round this? Thanks

Im guessing you have a pretty modern system and the game cant see the memory you have. I think windows has a way to emulate windows 95 or 3.1 to help playing of these games. I just cant remember how to do it!

Made a desktop icon to the CM 01/02 executable.

Right click on it. Select "Properties"

On the following menu, select "Compatibility".

I suspect you'll want to do all of the following:
Compatibility mode for: Windows 95
Run in 640x480
Disable visual themes

I don't remember what I did, now, but when I had that hankering playing around with the "Compatibility" screen was enough to get it working; I just tried options on and off until it worked.

You can also get that message when you have too MUCH menory, think the limit in 01/02 was 512kb.

I had the same problem when I installed it on my laptop. It has two hard drives and my 'C' drive was getting full so I installed it on 'D' then got the not enough memory message. I went into the properties for that hard drive and enabled virtual memory ( why it wasn't already enabled is beyond me ) and hey presto it worked.

I can get cm 00/01 and cm 3 on my XP Laptop.

Same here, I had CM00/01 working on a P4 laptop the other week.
