[SOLVED] can't change back my memory

munny · 04-15-2009, 08:05 PM

Hello guys I have a home built rig - asus M3n72-D / twin 9800gts / 8 gigs of memory and vista home basic 64bit.

I purchased a game, Arma , and for some reason the only way to make it run is to boot the comp with only 3 gigs of ram. So I ran msconfig, went to the boot tab, advanced options, and changed the Maximum memeroy From 7680 to 3072. Game ran fine, but when I went to switch it back to 7680 it would just instantly revert to 1536 for some reason.. Anyone have any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Yup, I just went back into the boot tab, advanced options and unchecked the check box that related to the Max Memorey, then rebooted, this makes the comp detect max installed memorey and sets it accordingly

Hope it helps someone else!
