Did it and got the "normal" ctd! :wah: There is a final test I did not yes performed yet. Do again a clean installation and prior to install gwx, enable the mod to see if my gwx files are not corrupt. I did a md5 compare and they are all ok but.
I was hoping that a could fix this with a new installation again!
The strange thing is, only this mod (both versions) are giving me trouble.

even crashes with no mods installed?

No, it crashed only with fm_interiors. Sorry! Lets see:
Bigwalleye suggested disable the 4gb patch and run the game with fm to see if the problem was or not from that. I did it and got the CTD. SH3+GWX+fm_interiors=ctd here!

have you tried running without the interiors?

Yes, as I said earlier, I have a problem with fm_interiors and gwx.

well this mod is a res hound so you might not be able to run it on anything but a 64 bit OS with the 4 gig patch

Yes, but how do explain that I never had that problem before with a 32 bit OS? And only 1gb of ram?
My previous PC had XP and 1gb of ram. I manage to run fm interiors and all other mods with out a problem. When I bought the current PC I had only 3gb of ram and choose XP just to keep playing SH3 and all the mods I like. Never had a problem with fm_int also.

weeeeelllllll when the computer runs out of RAM it often goes to the HDD to borrow space. with only a gig of ram before it was enough to run small applications (like word and such) but required bigger programs like SH3 to use the HDD. But with modern OSs you have to tell the computer how much of the HDD to use (default IIRC is only 256mb)

I see! :hmmm:
But, I'm also able to run Aces superturms, a mod that I was never able to do so in my old OS. A mod like superturms that is also huge in terms of resolution and ram eater, should also give me problems and it runs fine!

Edit: I went to see and I only have a pagefile for drive c:\. Could this be one cause of the problem. As desertstriker said, I need more ram or a pagefile to run the game with fm_interiors?

don't know much about super turms never used the mod. I don't know what else to tell you about FM interiors though.

Well, crud! I'm tapped out! FM_Interiors is a nice mod and adds a lot of flavor. I hope someone else can help you get it working.

Well, or I really need a pagefile for drive D: where I have the game to give me more "ram" to run fm or I have gremlins! :03:
Thank you all! :salute::up:

I really doubt this is a pagefile issue. Two things;

Have you set a pagefile manually? If so how big is it? If not, IIRC, windows will allocate more than enough space as a swapfile. Providing you have enough space on your HDD.

Ok that said, regarding the 4GB patch. This is only of any use on a 64bit system. If you are using 32bit OS you should be using the 3GB switch!!

Examples of which I have posted here,

One more question Windows 7 ships with both 32 and 64 bit flavours, why have you installed the 32 bit OS. Your CPU is quad core and therefore 64-bit.

Don't give up yet :salute:

Best regards.

No, the pagefile is manage by the system. I do not like to change things like that to prevent problems.
Well, I didn't do the installation myself. So I need the "3gb patch",:hmmm:. Will read carefully your post. Thanks!:up:

On a different note: you can use a memory stick and make windows use it as extra RAM.
