*Solved* Out off memory on start up *Solved* Problem solved!

Since I run a 32bit version of windows XP I had modified the boot file with the /3GB function that allows programs to access 3GB of memory oppose to 2GB. Oddly enough this is what was causing the crash for me. Hope this helps some one else. Just remove the /3GB from you boot file people.

*Solved* Out off memory on start up *Solved* *What the Problem was*
Hello I used muvizu for awhile several months back and with some new free time I have been wanting to get back into it. I downloaded the newest version of Muvizu and opened it hoping to re familiarize myself. When I opened it was was greeted with

"It is with some regret I must inform you of the following error:
Out of Memory."

"Muvizu is running low on memory and will run in restricted mode until memory is freed up" ect. ect.

This happened when I first open it when I have nothing created yet.

Windows XP 32-bit
Geforce 8400 GS
DirectX 9.0c
4 GB of RAM
Ran it without other programs running.

I am hoping there is some way to fix this I enjoyed using Muvizu some time back.

-Artemis.


*Solution*
When running a 32 Bit version of Windows you can go into the boot file and add /3GB to increase the amount of ram programs can use from 2GB of ram to 3GB of ram. I found out that this was the error and by removing it I can now use Muvizu like I had before. Hope this helps some one else as well.

If you have ever added something to your boot file to modify the page file or RAM (which is what caused this error) Here are the steps to revert it and thus make Muvizu work again for each Windows OS.

  • Windows XP
  • Click "Start"
  • Select "Run"
  • Type notepad c:\boot.ini and click OK
  • Look for /3GB and /Userva=####, where #### is a number. Make note of the value for #### in case you wish to restore these entries later.
  • If either exists, delete ONLY the /3GB and /Userva=#### text - do not modify any other part of the file.
  • Save the changes and reboot your system to apply the change.

    • Note: To revert this change, simply restore the /3GB and /Userva=#### entries in the exact location you removed them from.


Windows Vista or Windows 7
  • Click "Start"
  • Type cmd and press Enter
  • Type bcdedit and press Enter
  • Look under the "Windows Boot Loader" section for an entry titled "increaseuserva". Make note of the value in the right column next to increaseuserva in case you wish to restore this entry later.
  • If it exists, type bcdedit /deletevalue increaseuserva and press Enter. The message "The operation completed successfully" should appear.
  • Reboot your system to apply the change.

    • Note: To revert this change, follow these instructions but enter bcdedit /set increaseuserva ####, where #### is the value you made note of earlier.
