TopGun16 0 Posted June 12, 2002 When I try to start Operation Flashpoint subsequent times (never the first time I run it, I don't think), I sometimes get to the point where it'll show the logo but just exits back to Windows without starting. Rebooting the computer seems to work to cure it, but anyone know how to avoid this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedRogue 0 Posted June 12, 2002 Seems like a Win95/98 problem. Windows 9x where/are horrible at mangaging memory. Every time a program closes not all the memory it was using is freed up. Its just kinda lost and after enough times it causes problems. A Reboot clears all the memory holds. I would sugest upgrading to WinXP or just keep on rebooting when ever this happens.

Â BTW red rogue...I have XP.<span id='postcolor'> Eww, well then I don't really have a clue about what's going on. Figured you where running 9x because you mentioned it doesn't happen on the first startup and only subsequent ones and it goes away after a reboot. Common problem I've seen with 9x memory managment. With XP however... no info to give. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
