Is this an arena problem?

Post by Tony Thomas »

When I open Arena, it says on the top that I have 0MB of available memory. Also, when I try to load a tournament, it says that I do not have enough memory. That cant be possibly right knowing that I have 6GB of RAM. Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance

It looks like a system memory addressing problem,but I am wondering why :!: :?:

Hi Tony,

I remember that some versions of MSWIN
have problems with memories more than 4 GB.

I could possibly be right or wrong.

Best,

Yes, it is working fine so far. I can play the tournaments, but cant load the games using arena. I guess I should just open it in a notepad until I figure out the problem. Also Arena 1.1 isnt recognizing the hardware, it also thinks that I have windows NT.

Yes,as I wrote earlier,it's a memory addressing problem....It can't recognize the hardware 8-)
Anyway,in the worst case,you can install Windows XP 64x as a second operation system and use it to run your tournaments....
BTW,what is your operating system :!: :?:

I have vista 64bits. Why would I want to downgrade? May be I should try downloading the recent beta version of Arena that was released after vista came around. Can you access the arena forum these days? I clicked on the link but nothing happend.

Edit : I just tried Arena beta and it recognizes it correctly. So far, that is the only solution that I have found for my problem. Hopefully I wont kick myself for switching to the new version like I did last time.

2nd Edit: I am kicking myself already, few of the menu options of the new version of Arena is still in German even though I chose English as my language.

No,I can't access either....
Why do you consider Windows XP 64x as a downgrade :!: :?:
It works perfectly and all your 32x programs will run smoothly....
You will be surprised how many 32x engines won't run on your current system running Windows vista....

I finally have the new arena working OK. So far I havent found any engines that wont run under my computer. I did find one unusual problem, Rybka 2.2n runs out of time in 1min+1 sec time control. I never played with it in my other system, so I dont know if the problem is hardware related. I also read that Swami had problems with Rybka.

Great tony,I am happy that your problems are solved :D
I guess you will run a lot of MP engines now....
