Topic: I can't even install

I get a "program too big too fit memory" error in command propmt when I double click the application. My computer is good enough! I have 2 gig ram. I have tried clossing many programs and processes from the task manager but it still pops up with that error

To get it to show i had to go into the command prompt options and untick close when done

I tried 7ziping the exe but it fails to install

SIZE IS 1.16gb i checked

Re: I can't even install

so, if you can't install, this has nothing to do with amount of your RAM(if u have enough to boot windows ofc tongue). you should check if you have enough space on you HDD, not RAM. On WinXP even if it seems you have enough free space, sometimes page file can be larger than needed (if you have auto  resize option set). also AFAIK windows by default uses 10% of ur disk space for deleted files. so even if u have e.g. free 5GB of 100GB partition u should remove/uninstall something in order to be able to install anything.

You should also check that you havent set use limits on the space available on your hard drive, if you have then, even if you have say... 5 GB free space you may not be allowed to fill it up fully.

PS. This should be in client support no?

Re: I can't even install

I have 71.3 gb of free space on D: and 17.2 gb free on C: I tried installing it from where i downloaded it to (C:) so i copied and pasted the installer file to D: which also appeared with the issue. I haven't touched my computer with memory wise. But how would I?
