I've got 2 computers with GW3 in. 1 is a gaming machine that I put GW3 into last week. It's 4.5GB right now. It has 170 GB used with 300GB free. 2 is a Dell laptop that had FSX in it (didn't like it) & I removed it last year, & put GW3 in this week. I've actually got 235 GB free & 15 used.
Both GW3 stopped loading today, & I get a message I've never seen before that says the computer(s) have run out of available memory, It went on to tell me to run disk cleanup for free space & try again.
GW3 has been running well since I installed both. They're 4,5GB each. I'm stunned that both machines have suddenly stopped working. FS9 in machine 1 is 26GB & works well, & has been running for the past hour quite smoothly. I'd be grateful if someone can tell me what to do to get GW3 running again.

Most likely caused by the last thing(s) you added to or changed in GW3 on both machines.
One common cause is a scenery add-on that includes faulty landclass.
Does the error happen at GW3 startup or when it is loading your flight?

Good morning Dave. FS9 stopped loading in the gaming machine last evening with the same message "Your computer has run out of available memory. FS will now exit. You may not have enough free space on you hard drive. Run disk cleanup to free up spece & try again." Disk space is not a problem!
I've not added anything to GW3 except add-on Scottish airfield from TOH & one or two airfields from my FS9 (that has been running well until now) however, I removed them all from GW3 but can't in to the scenery library. It still won't lstart. I've not added anything to FS9 for months & it's been running alright.
I've removed GW3 from the laptop & installed FS9 & that's running well so far this AM. I've backed up this gaming machine & will uninstall GW3 & FS9 & reinstall GW3 as I quite like sepia tones.
The erro was at startup.........
Terry.

Update - I've removed FS9 & GW3 & reinstalled both. When I added the Duford scenery to GW3 that I'd had in the gaming machine FS9 for 9 months with no probelms (& in GW3 for a week!) I got the error message. I removed it & GW3 seems to be OK...... Odd that it might be the thing that did it after so long, but I suupose adding another scenery might produce a conflict but at least now I know what the problem might be. Thanks again.
