I cannot play HL2 or CSS or even CSCZ with my new computer equipped with ATI Radeon 800XL + Windows XP64 + 3Gb of RAM. When I try to start the game I have a fatal error : available memory less than 128MB. Could someone help me please ?

i am not even sure if HL2 works with XP 64.. you using the latest drivers for your video card and motherboard?

yes, everything is updated for 64bits

what DirectX version are you running?

The 9b ou c, I don't remember

When you installed the RAM, did you run a memory diagnostics so it read it as 3GBs? Clean out your RAM?

Your RAM is either used up to that point or HL2 is reading it as 128MBs, run a memory diagnostics.

well this seems like physical system memory and its doesn't seem its related to your video card.. all i can say to try is check that all 3GB memory is being registered on your system.. right click my computer > properties.

you may want to try removing some memory and leaving 1 stick in there... what kind of mother board? i assume you're not running in dual channel memory otherwise you wouldn't have a odd number of 3GB of memory.

try just 1 or 2GB memory and test.

I've got the same problem with dual 2x Geforce 8800GTS 320 Mb Ram under WinXP64. Any suggestions?

last i heard that steam isnt really supporting 64bit. its better to dual boot windows 32bit and 64bit, but its also a pain in the ass.

looks like only half life 2 is 64bit. unfortunate as windows vista is a 64bit operating system.

ill install xp pro 64bit and see if i can come up with a solution for ya

I think that all that problems seem to be just because we have more than 2 GB memory on our cpomputers. I played CS on Windows Vista 64-bit with 2 GB RAM and everything was very good. When I put more memory (a total of 4 GB RAM) I received this message: "available memory less than 15mb".

Right click on the shortcut, choose properties, compability, mark the Run this program in compability mode for:, choose Windows XP SP2.
The problem is caused of the more than 2gb ram. I solved this problem like that on 64-bit Vista Business having 4gb ram. Cheers!

i have winxp x64 and i tried running it in compaitibility mode using windows xp, win 2000 and win 98 and i still get the error msg.

Right click on the shortcut, choose properties, compability, mark the Run this program in compability mode for:, choose Windows XP SP2.
