Hi. I have installed MS FS 2002 Pro and it installed correctly. When I run it, it shows the splash screen with the jumbo jet and when it goes to the next screen and crashes. A message comes up saying that the computer has run out of memory. I have restarted the machine many times to try and solve this but it doesnt help. I can access the menus in the game but most of the time more errors just appear. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Without a doubt... it is a hardware issue!

Yet another example of a twin posting.

Any background programs running?  I shut down my virus and trojan hunter programs, and weatherbug because I'm not on the net when flying.  If you are running XP, it alone will try to eat up 128 MB, and with only running 2002 Pro, I'm 200-210MB RAM being used.  So if other programs are running, that could be part of the memory problem.  But if that were true, then it would start using virtual memory, which is best left for Windows to configure. 

I think your physical memory space is fine and don't really see why you would have to rely on VM like that when physical mem is still open.  Unless the physical is damaged and not being read correctly.  Try opening the Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) and see what your mem usage is before you run the game.  Then run the game and see what it is using then.  If you see something abnormaly high, you might have a mem leak (or whatever it is called) somewhere trying to tie up all of your memory.

Just a couple of guesses.  They sound logical to me, but my logic doesn't always make sense to others.
