I recently downloaded a 508 mb .rfl.exe file, and when I try and run it a command prompt appears telling me that the program is too big to fit in memory. I have 512mb of RAM and have tried upping my virtual memory to 1.5Gb (across two partitions) but this didnt seem to help. In the file's properties all the memory settings are set to auto, and trying to run it in a compatibility mode didnt help. Any ideas?

I had the same issue when I downloaded an iso image. It had an .exe extension, but I changed that to .iso and burned the CD with no problems.

you may need more ram, think windows reserves a chunk of it for other things, perhaps more then the 4 megs difference.
