"System memory" error Free Cell

I have often used the Free Cell game that came with Vista on my PC.  Suddenly started getting a message "critical error" when you try to run it: "the system has run out of memory." Try closing some applications and try again. »

The other game (Solitaire, hearts, etc.) all seem to open very well... but I do not use them.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot, repair, or reinstall?  Thank you.

Hello Dave_L_Texas,

You can try this:

First of all try to perform a clean boot.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

Follow the steps described in the article:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

Apart from that, you can try the following steps:

1. right click on my computer and select Properties option.
2. in the window that opens, select Advanced on the right panel system settings.
3. click on continue when you are prompted.
4. you will get the System Properties window.
5. click on the Advanced tab, and under performance, click settings.
6. you'll get the window popped up performance options. Click the Advanced tab again.
7. then under virtual memory, click change.
8. under custom size, increase the value. Click ok.

You can also try:

To uninstall/install the games provided by Windows Vista, go to programs and features, and then click Turn Windows Features On or Off in spots on the left. You may be prompted for an administrator password or to continue. It can take a bit of the screen of Windows features to complete loading. In the Windows features page, clear the check box next to games and click OK. Windows may ask you to reboot after it's finished work.
 
Kind regards

  • MEMORY ERROR 164 SIZE ERROR

    Help, please, someone!

    I just replaced the original pair of modules DIMM DDR3 1 GB in my new S10 (6423 - 27G) with a pair of brand Lenovo 2 Gb DDR3 DIMM, to bring the total system memory of 4 GB (I'm hoping to expand up to 8 GB, later, when DDR3 prices fall a bit).

    Now, whenever I start my S10, I get a MESSAGE error message:

    : Error 164 memory size

    I am prompted to press F1 to access the CONFIGURATION, but no matter what I'm doing here, I can't find any option to clear this error.

    What can I do to get my S10 running after his POST without report an error?

    Brian

    Hi Erik,

    I can confirm that the POSITION "164" error is now corrected, and I left all 4 modules in the machine, giving me a pretty lush 6 GB to play with. My S10 now gets "4.8" on issues of Vista, with the graphics (nVidia FX 1700) being the factor limiting - everything else is in the range of 5.9.

    The reason why Vista went 'false' on me is that I had already skipped the version Lenovo (Vista Business 64) repartitioned my first hard drive and installed Vista Ultimate 64 of my MSDN discs. On purpose, I had not yet activated version, because I expect more re - installs while I set exactly where I wanted my different partitions of the disk.

    Now I re-installed Vista Ultimate 64 once more and activated it, and everything is hunky-dory.

    I think I will like my new Lenovo after all! :-)

  • Games like solitaire, free cell, hearts, etc. accidentally has been removed from my computer. When I go into Control Panel, add or remove windows, windows components, I need the floppy disk that I don't have. Any ideas how I can get these games back?

    I have windows xp service pack 3 and internet explorer 7

    Hi dollarsfor6,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    In most cases if the games are deleted from the computer files will remain on the computer.

    I suggest that you are looking for game files in the system32 folder.

    Click on Start menu later click on run and type c:\\windows\system32 in the following search of the window for the file of games like free cell. If you get the files in the system32 folder then copy the file to c:\\program files\start menu\ later in the game folder.

    If fails it above step, try a system restore to the point when the game was available on the computer.

    See the link below to learn how to perform the system restore.

  • the API system configuration error 1097 and freezes

    I used successfully the API system configuration to detect and read information on a PXI chassis.

    But now, when I try to initialize and collated all information using a simple VI, the system returns error 1097 and crashes before the end of the VI.  Based on that the stop button does not work and I have to either soft or hard reboot the machine.

    I have attached a screenshot of it in a frozen state and error, like a report of what is installed on my system.

    The only thing I can think has changed since this last worked has been upgraded my MAX and other pilots from 5.5 to 14.0 and then the latest version as of today.

    It is usually the generic error, which means that some external code access violated the integrity of the system and the memory is likely to have been corrupted in the process. Since it is a NI API system AND it seems to have worked before, I guess it's not a bad disigned call library node, but a form of bribery in external code library itself which implements the API of the System Configuration.

    Reinstalling may solve the problem.

  • Is there a free cell as the XP version I can download on my desktop on Windows 8?

    I just windows 8, and he doesn't have the game of free cells that I'm addicted to.  Can I download Windows 8 so that I can play offline?  Thank you

    It seems to work for Windows 7 so might also work for Windows 8.

    Create a folder in your file system a place to place the game.

    Copy these files into the XP environment in the folder created in the previous step...

    C:\Windows\system32\freecell.exe

    C:\Windows\system32\cards.dll

    Create a shortcut to freecell.exe if you want or just run directly from the folder.
