[Raver03x]

Hello all,

So i get rid of vista for mugen reasosns and install XP 64bit edition, but now XP only shows that i have 2.87GB of ram. Bios says 4GB. Has anyone here encountered similar problems and found a fix? Or any advice? Please help me i'm deperate and have used google but found no answers...

PC Specs:
Core2Duo 2.2
Nvidia Gforce 8600GT
2x2GB ddr2 ram
SG 750GB HD

[.:K.I.N.G:.]

remove the ram sticks carefully and then try using one ram stick at a time.
check to see what xp reports each time.

Both of them report 2.00GB of ram... i then placed both and 2.87GB came out again... how frustrating!

XP only recognizes up to 3GB RAM which is why you don't see 4 GB when you check.

32 bit only recognizes 3GB
64 bit recognizes up to 120+GB (in theory)... i googled it sir.

Check the amount of video memory taken up in your bios.

On board video is disabeled in the bios. I have a video card installed.

What exactly was wrong with your mugen that made you downgrade?

What are the problems vista cause to Mugen?

Wait a minute...

Do you have a intergrated video card? That may be your problem as a intergrated video cards in new PC's these days reserves a GB or more RAM.

Do you have a integrated video card? That may be your problem as a integrated video cards in new PC's these days reserves a GB or more RAM.

Like I said two posts back, I'm not using integrated video, I have a Nvidia Gforce 8600GT card... anyway i installed Vista again  and now i can see 4GB of ram... again.

Odd, try a fresh copy of mugen without any characters except kfm in it. I recently had to upgrade to Vista, I thought the worst to come, however Mugen runs normally and without problems.

I'm a little bit of a tech guy but I'm learning this year. Anyways try a new mugen and see if it still crashes. If it does try running mugen with Windows XP compatibility enabled.
