I'm having problems installing and running some games and I'm wondering if the games are too old to recognize the amount of memory I have in my system... When trying to install "Lego - Harry Potter" I get the message:
"this program requires that you have 60mb of memory on your computer. setup will now abort." and installation aborts.
When trying to run "Sacrifice" I am told: "insufficient pagefile space. please ensure that virtual memory is enabled and that you have more than 128mb of disk space free on your pagefile drive before running sacrifice."My total physical memory is 2.5GB
My total paging file size for all drives is 16380MB (a 4096MB pagefile on four separate 100GB+ drives).
I seem to remember a problem similar to this with "The Sims" where I had to physically remove memory from the computer in order to get the program to load.
Is there any work around that can be done in Windows?
There are no patches for either of these programs and I know it's not an OS issue because each game works on my laptop (also running WinXP Pro SP2 but with on 512MB of memory).
Any ideas?

Why is your pagefile so big? Pagefile size should be inversely proportional to memory...the more memory you have, the smaller the page file. And why on multiple drives? Windows just uses the one on the least accessed drive.
I don't know how to fix your problem though...sacrifice works on my computers.
