Errors - need help!

Well I have been having trouble with SH3. The detection tool says that the system is compliant to all the minimum requirements to be able to play the game, but not the recommended requirements for memory. Anyway, when I start the game the movie plays and then the SH3 logo appears along with the red loading bar. It loads but then the game just goes back to my desktop. I dont know whats happening. I have deleted some useless other files to make room for the game. This problem happened before when I installed it, but I cannot remember what I did to make it work. Could somebody please help?

Thanks

Yeah, I am trying to install the stock normal version, I dunno what it is. When it goes off it just says ''computer trying to make more memory, some appplications may not work aswell etc.'' But when this happened before I did something on the control panel, or somewhere around there, and I pressed something and it made the game work.

Complicated or what?

Sounds like your machine is a little on the low end if your having trouble with insufficient resources.

What are its specs ?

your machine is telling you that it needs to extend its virtual memory to run the game and if cant do so for whatever reason it cant run the game

Edit ...yes add more ram or shut down what ever program you have running at the same time as SH3 that may free up some ram
