'Your computer has run out of available memory. Flight simulator will now exit. You may not have enough free space on your hard disk drive. Run disk cleanup to free up space, and then try running Flight Simulator again."

This is driving me crazy!

First happened yesterday, I have LOTS of room on my HDD's and I Googled the message, and then tried to refresh the paging file but still no go.

Anybody know anything about this?

Might have to copy my FS folder to somewhere else, reinstall FS then paste it back over. Will this work?

Thanks, Nick

I get that sometimes (though it only says There is not enough memory to run Flight simulator. Flight simulator will now exit)
I just restart my computer and it works. It only shows up when I use heaps of programs at once before I start FS9

Available memory means RAM. The Hard Drive reference is referring to Virtual memory (space used on the Hard Drive in place of physical RAM).

How much RAM does your PC have? What other applications are you using when you start FS? I can really only imagine this being a problem if you have a small amount of ram (1Gb>) and also running other memory-intensive applications...

Kelburn's idea not bad either - also try a full reboot (not just restart). Turn off your PC and leave it off for 5 mins or so before turning on.

I've left it off over night, upon restart, when no other programs are running I click FS9.exe, and I get the message.

I have 2GBs of RAM (New)

It also comes up with this after the first message (forgot to include)

"The Instruction at "0x7c14f0e7" referenced memory at "0x0000001c". The
memory could not be "Read"

Click OK to Terminate the programme"

Note: There isn't this problem with any other application that I know of yet.

Have you tried carefully removing the RAM sticks, and then re-seating them in their slots. ( making sure they are locked in).
I had a similar problem quite some time ago, and it turned out to be a stick of RAM that wasnt seated in the slot properly, and was only making partial contact.
Just a thought................................

I'll have a go in a minute

Generally not a hardware issue, a rogue .bgl may often be the culprit.
Restore Windows to a point before that last "interesting" scenery or other installation.

Have done (system restore) no go

Did you get it sorted?
If not have you tried reinstalling FS? May be worth a crack.
This cropped up pretty quick, assuming this is your new system.
Also could you maybe try running FS while using minimal resources? I mean end all unnecessary processes before starting FS and see what happens.
I have no clue if that would even do anything, but it probably won't hurt (provided you don't end a vital system process)

I think it's an error rather than a memory leak (excessive programs), will just reinstall

I had trouble like this before, but it was only a traffic file that didn't have "Traffic_" in front of it.
