ost_uid0="Gambit2hot"]Um I have a couple of things I would like to know if I can get fixed note: please keep in mind that I absolutly cannot download anything whatsoever .
ok here are the problems:
1. when I try to play the game, as soon as I get to the Username and password section, a warning popup thingy comes up which says: Out of memory displaying cast memember (certain number) even after purging all purgeable cast members. at this point I can no longer play the game and have to press f5
2. Out of memory displaying a sprite even after purging all purgeable cast members. at this point I can no longer play the game.
3. I'll be playing the game and I get to the second part and then something pops up: out of memory displaying castmember even after purging all purgeable cast members.
4. I can never get past the second level because of this.

I hope someone can help me :buttrock:
oh plus, I was wondering what "flaming" is because I'm not clear on the meaning of that

Out of memory means, you have no more available space in RAM to load more informations onto your computer.

After "purging" all purgable cast members..
Meaning....
The game has dumped all the "unimportant" parts of the program, and left you with just the "core" components that make the game operate.

With that being said....
Your computer has "most" of the "core" components suspended in RAM...but..it does not have the room to store ALL of the "core" components of the program into RAM.

...wich means the "core" of the game is incomplete and can not operate properly
(...kinda like taking a spark plug out of a car. It'll operate..sorta. But it will run very poorly and die alot if it operates at all.)
Thus giving you the errors you speak of.

To fix this you will need to shut down as many "nonessential programs" you have running on your PC.
Programs like....
MSN,ICQ,AIM, messenger programs.
Real time anti-virus programs.
Firewalls

Basicaly any and all programs that are not "essential" to your PC accessing the internet and operating.

You may also wish to do a virus scan, dump your temp internet files and cookies,reboot,defrag your PC...you know...general maintenance.

It may also be that your PC is just not powerful enough to run the game properly.
In wich case...that means it is time to upgrade your PC to a newer model.
