problem with GTR demo

[macca8419]

i downloaded the demo but it wont run on my computer, it tells me: "Insufficient disk swap space or virtual memory detected. A minimum of 150 MB of swap space required."
i'm not very knowledgeable about computers and have never heard of swap space. wondered if i was doing something wrong or my computer just isnt up to it.

my computer has a pentium centrino, 1.60GHz and 504MB of RAM.

Probably a graphics card driver problem, update to the latest one for you card and it should be ok.

Edited to add, I knew I had seen this before, read here - http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=202575

What operating system are you using?

i.e. Windows XP, 2000, 98, 95 etc...

Assuming Windows XP do the following, any of the others should be similar but you may need to figure it out a bit more.

You are either running low on disk space in which case;

Double click the My Computer icon.
Right Click on the C: Drive
Select Properties
Chcek how much free space is available. If it looks too low you may need to delete some files.

or your Swap file is not big enough in which case;

Right Click My Computer
Select the Advanced tab from the top of the window
Select Performance
Select Advanced
Click the Change button in the Virtual memory section
Click on the Custom Size button
Set the Initial Size and Maximum size to 768 Mb
Click on Set
Click OK three times and restart the computer.

Hopefully this should help.

I take no responsibility for these instructions if it messes anything up.
