Can't Run STLAKER, need help

[Decker]

Now there's your problem!

Even if you get past the problem that your hard-drive is a bit full, the fact you have a computer built from parts that were out of date 4 years ago shows why STALKER probably won't run.

All it said was I need 2GB tho and nothing else.

Where does it say this? Me and all my friends, and various people in this thread have run it with 1GB perfectly fine.

My speculation, your explanation, and my (limited) German, tell me you need more RAM.

The system you have seems, or actually is, old indeed as Curry says, but if the game really requires 2GB of RAM I suggest you purchase more RAM and see what happens. If the game would run it would most likely run slowly even if you add more RAM and leave the rest of the system the same.

My greater advice would be to simply buy a new computer that is more powerful. (Or you could steal it too of coures )

Page Datei should be your Windows swapfile, you can set that somewhere in your windows control panel, but I can't remember where exactly in XP and my XP is german, so....

I guess some other knowledgeable orgah can tell you how exactly you can do it.

Well the word may be german but it will be in exactly the same place...

Check out that link in the first post, follow the instructions from the point where is starts "In Windows XP go to My Computer"...

Look at the position of the buttons as they will be the same in any language...

When you get this screen:

Change the max value to over 2GB (more than 2048MB) or change it to the second setting "System managed size" in english...

save, rebbot, try Stalker...

Where do you live?

In my C Drive it says that I have a max of 1536 but 19738 amount of space available. So I change the maximum size first to over 2948(just a little maybe) and then initial size to what? It's at 780.

I'd set initial to 2048.

Alright I'll give it a try.

edit: Well it worked and started properly until it got to the menu which was completely black except for the cursor and the music playing.

[Husar]

Well, the minimum system requirements mention a Radeon 9600 card, could be that your video card is not supported.

Ahh well thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it.
