Hi fellow gamers
I am trying to run an older, but not too old game, Legend of Lotus Spring, designed for up to Windows 2000, it is made by Dreamcatcher but they no longer support it, so sorry......grrr

anyway, it is a beautiful game, with wonderful visuals of Ancient China and a full re creation of a historic and destroyed, and lost forever Garden that was built at the Forbidden City in Peking, and was destroyed by the Britich Army when they burned the Summer Palace.

The game loads fine, it is on CD, and i installed the older version of Quick Time you need, and then i get a error messags that says:

This Game Requires 3 mg of Free Virtual Memory to run, and the game wont run.

I have an AMD 3400 System, that runs at 2/6 ghz, with 2.5 GB of RAM, 4000 Gb of Hard Drive memory and an Audity 2ZS Snd Card, and a 6600 GT FX Vid card, and am running XP Pro Sp2

i seem to remember encoutering similar error messages with some mid to older games but dont know how to circumvent this one, can anyone help me out, re the virtual memory and what that is and how i can adjust for it?

I am running the game in compatability mode for Wind 98 SE .....but have not delved into the detailed settings for such a mode yet. any help much much appreciated.

thanks and happy holidays to everyone!

ah ha, finally after much study, i figured it out, this is an error that occurs with the minimum level of the page file setting, it was set too low by default, 2 something and you have to go into the
My Computer>Advanced>Performance area and set the minimum page file at 384, then it works,

had to delete all the newer versions of Quick time too, to get it to run but it is a lovely game, reminds me of the orginal Myst, same hypercard and slide show with some animations pathway, but it is a
authentic recreation of a lost garden and you get to see some really lovely recreations of famous and now lost chinese art, furnishings and intricate interiors,
