mmatteson Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 i fixed the swap problem with the xp install over a mapped drive. for some reason the existing disk couldn't be NTFS, needed to format to FAT. anyways now i have another problem. i go to setup, hit enter to where the install files are and then it says "setup is out of memory and cannot continue" any ideas? i have devicehigh=himem.sys on my boot disk. weird. can anyone give me a fix?
mmatteson Posted May 7, 2003 Author Posted May 7, 2003 weird thing is, that i have 512mb ram, and himem.sys will let me use 64mb...did i ever tell you i hate microsoft?
gamehead200 Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 did i ever tell you i hate microsoft?No, you never did! That's really strange...You should be able to install with NTFS on MOST drives these days...How old is your hard drive?
rstryker Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 did i ever tell you i hate microsoft?then instal linux...im sure that would go easier. :rofl:
Doggie Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 well when that appears, it doesn't mean ur system has run out of memory.. usually means theres a problem with the setup files
mmatteson Posted May 8, 2003 Author Posted May 8, 2003 brandnew gateway 600 xl laptop. if gateway ripped me off with old parts.... LOL (they didn't) setup files are fine, i've used the copy command, xcopy command, installed via vmware so i know the files are fine. mr. gates is taking great joy in ruining my day...probably woke up with nothing better to do then think "hey lets ruin mmatteson's day" LOL....suggestions?
