Downloaded the new patch and now i keep getting a out of virtual memory notice every time i try to start uo...is anyone else having problems or does anyone have an idea what i should do?

go on your log in page for UO.Top right hand corner are some fixes if you have/had trouble patching

try shutting off your virus protector/popup blockers ... it helps release memory ... hope that helps ...

What are the specs of your PC? Someone else was mentioning a problem that was a running a fairly outdated rig; like Pentium 2 w/256 Mb of RAM.

Pentium 4 with 512 megs of Ram...running window ME though don't know if that is the problem or not...guess i could try uninstalling the game and re-installing...hate to loose all my macro's and stuff though

You can save all of your macros - just copy the settings folder for UOAssist (if applicable) and the Desktop folder from inside your UO Program Files folder. That will save your desktop layout settings, macros, etc.

Windows ME is infamous for its memory leak bug. It's a known bug that Microsoft never fixed. http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,10816,00.asp

So even with 512MB of RAM, your system is probably only operating at the level of efficiency as if it has 128MB. It's particularly noticeable when running games, or apps like Photoshop that hog a lot of RAM.

Heh, guess it's ironic that the issue was given the "highest" priority when the microsoft engineer wrote back, yet the article was dated "July 19, 2001" and it still isn't fixed.
Never did like Windows ME.

i was not aware of this, thx kitiara

i dont think i have ever heard anyone say anything good about ME


*shakes fist* i know your not bad mouthing my beloved PS




(j/k kit )

Absolutely not! I love Photoshop I teach it exclusively in my web design classes. All that power requires lots of resources, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

before i upgraded to a new puter i had ME and i was getting the same problem about virtual memory when running ML. I found by shutting off my virus/popup programs it worked smoothly ... (i just had to remember to turn it back on if i left the game and went to the net which i didn't do that often since i was in game most the time and used my other puter for 'surfing') also ML wasn't compatable with ME which at first caused a few of us a headache but they gave us an answer for it (don't remember now what it was though)

Might want to check on the virtual memory settings of your rig. Start->Control Panel->System->not sure what tab the "Performance" button is under, but go there.

Youll want to set this to a static value (dont let Windows manage it, it sucks at it ) that is about twice the amount of RAM you have. So there will be 2 boxes and youll put 1000 in each box. 1024 if you want to get technical.

Restart and give it a try. I remember that helping alot when I was running ME.

And the only good thing I have to say about ME is "winipcfg" was so much more user friendly that having to go through the C:/ prompt.

I tried this Ezekiel still doesn't work...have tried everything i could think of ..still no go...i contacted uo support doubt that'll be much help either...just can't understand why it was working great yesterday and once i downloaded the new patch won't start at all...oh well guess i won't be playing for a while..maybe time to get a new puter
