hey all i really need help here, i have windows vista 32-bit ultimate edition and the only game i have installed is S.T.A.L.K.E.R and i realise that vista hates Stalker as it crash non stop to the desktop, yes i've read the vista fix for it, but i guess it confuses me just a bit cause it doesn't seem to be working but thanks to a member named Greeno i figured out how to enter the bcdedit stuff, but i'm not sure if i'm doing any of it right, can someone please explain the fix to me, i need it explained cleary if someone wouldn't mind because this is driving me crazy and i'm so frustrated and i just want it to work *sighs* this is what i followed froim the other post i read i didn't really understandd the run as admin stuff:
"Now, I don't have S.T.A.L.K.E.R
But :-
"Now comes the additionally part for Vista32:
You have to go to start-program-equipment. Now you have to right click on input-request and start as Administrator.
Equals - "Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Run (As Administrator) It's important it says "This task will be created with administritive privileges"
Now enter: bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 3072
Simply paste :- bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 3072 and click run, you'll see a black screen pop up and disappear again quickly... reboot and you should be set... it's kinda like using the /3GB switch in XP.
After that you have to restart Vista. This is important!
He also wrotes:
The adress area for windows maschines is short and this trick only helps applications that are prepared to use more than 2 GB. Like the trick with "App can handle> 2gb adressest". You should only use the trick for exceptional cases."
- Hope that helps, although, perhaps it's the second part you're struggling with?"
thank you very much in advance for taking a few minutes to help me, i'm desperate and grateful
