trouble running program

[bigdan]

When I try to run a program it gives me an error message right at the beginning:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program C:\Program Files\Dolomo\Dolomo.exe
This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.


The program still runs for a bit but if when I use it it keeps shutting down. Incidentally I didnt have this problem when I had more disk space. I dont know if this is relevant? I have 480 Megs of disk space at this moment.

Thanks!

Thats too low isn't it recommended you have a least 4 gigs of free space on a windows system? I'm willing to bet due to your low free space your swap file and ram are being overworked.

Yeah, 480MB isn't enough space. Try cleaning some more if you can, and reinstalling.

BTW Tyler, it's funny how Linux screws up our thoughts when it comes to Windows, isn't it?

I try to look at all four views and try my best to learn about Windows, Linux, UNIX, and Mac.

It can't be 4 gigs. I've never had that much free space on this machine(!) and I've been able to run it before. But I guess I do need more free space then. Let's see.....

thanks guys

Unless proven wrong I think 4 gigs is correct I'll even go as far as to say that is when a windows warning messege will apear warning you your discs are almost full.

I forgot to mention: my computer is a P3 bought in 2000, with a total capacity of 30 gigs. Is the 4 gigs still relevant with such limited space?
