Pertinent details-
XP SP1a
Radeon X850 w/256 megs ram
2 gigs system ram

Before I begin, I did some searching on this subject before starting this thread; however, none of the related topics I saw seemed to have a solution, so I'm hoping that this one will get a definitive/authoritative answer.

TFL 1.5 won't run on my XP box due to a 'not enough free memory' error on a system with 2 gigs of ram. I was able to run 1.3/1.4 many months ago with with no problem before I added the extra gig. I just removed and reinstalled Myth and 1.5 while typing this, and the game launched fine after I installed it. When I closed and relaunched, however, it went back to the same error. Can anybody help? Also, what does the community think about OpenGL vs Glide/OpenGlide graphics? Thanks.

A workaround ---- Start -> Run -> msconfig.exe , limit memory to 512mb, reboot and try running TFL again.

I'm surprised you got TFL 1.3 working. It never used to work if more than 640mb was present.

Has anyone got this running on a current system. i.e., XP, a gig+ of RAM, etc?

Have you tried Eddaweaver's suggestion? It seems weird that you managed to run 1.3 with 1 gig of ram and not 1.5, since 1.5 "supposedly" fixed that problem, which happened in 1.3.
Have you tried a clean install then patching directly to 1.5? Trying that never hurts...

Yes, 1.5 should work on such a system.

Has anybody tried this in an emulated environment such as VMWare or Microsoft Virtual PC?

Heh...why? It might run, but I don't see the purpose. Any reason in particular you were thinking of doing so?

This is in response to eddaweaver's post about editing msconfig.exe. I don't trust Windows enough to screw enough around with the basic variables and would prefer to create a virtual environment separate from the actual OS parameters.

Heh, running in emulation would be grosser than messing with msconfig. But have you tried reinstalling?
