Hello Ryan, This is what I would try. First, make sure your VM is shut down and not "suspended". Then, in your VM's directory you should find a .vmx file. Open the file in a text editor and find the line which starts with "memsize", then change it to read (in the case of one gigabyte):
memsize = "1024" Save the file, close it, then restart your VM. Good luck, DW >>> "Ryan Laverdiere" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4/17/2008 7:18 AM >>> im using vmware player and my system has 2g so I thought that 1g would be good.
