Three possible causes of "failed to allocate memory"
I've had the infamous "failed to allocate memory" error spontaneously occur after PJ64 ran fine for a while. I can think of three things that I did that may have induced the error:
1) I changed my display drivers (my video card's an NVidia GeForce2 MX400 based card) from Windoze's drivers to NVidia's lastest drivers. I doubt this is the cause, but it's possible. I'll try reverting back to the old drivers to see if this fixes the problem.
2) I applied the DirectX patch to update from version 9.0b to 9.0c. I'd bet dollars to donuts that that induced the problem.
3) I've refused to install SP2 up to this point, but I have installed all of the other "optional" patches/updates/security fixes that are available. One of those might have created an error condition too.
So, does this clue anyone in to a possible fix?
