Do you have a gamesave you can upload? It's possible that you're running out of memory if you only have 64mb RAM. (That's kind of low for a PC these days, unless that's your monitor's video RAM?) If your PC only has 64 megs RAM, I'd certainly recommend upgrading your PC (or buy/build a new one all together). I'm guessing it's a 486 or Pentium 1 if it only has 64 megs? That's kind of old for a PC.

Yeah, it sounds like he has 64 MB RAM with some additional MBs from virtual memory, just using hard drive space as RAM. Still, that's waaaaay too little to be playing a huge map in the Industrial Age!

i have it on my old HP Vectra, i cant put it on my new computer, it wont run it says its missing a .dll or something file, i called support and they said i would have to reinstall XP, but i have way to important stuff on now to reinstall
i will try to get the save uploaded

Was it this error? You shouldn't need to reinstall for that.

Unless they meant reinstall your game, and not XP. I can't imagine tech support telling you that. OTOH, I've heard weirder things.

 

[SG-17]

no the file its missing is MSVBVM60.DLL
heres the save

 

[Turner]

Well, that's a VB6 runtime file. Google for it, and there are a bunch of places that you can d/l it from.
