I just attempted to install Gothic 2 (in order to take some screenshots for the Watch itself) and encountered this baffling little error. I can't seem to resolve it, no matter how I try, nor were there any reliable online sources that did...thus I turn to my fellow members here.
Alright, first, a basic rundown of the system I'm attempting to install the game on.
OS: Vista 64-bit Ultimate SP1
MB: nForce 680i, latest drivers
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo, E6750 at 3.0 Ghz
GPU: GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB
MEMORY: 4 GB (2 onboard, 2 flash)
VMEMORY: 4 GB
It is, in short, a system that well-exceeds the recommended set-up for running G2. Nonetheless, attempting to install the game leads me to immediately encounter an error which reads "Insufficient Memory". This error is popped-up by the G2 installer, not Windows itself, and occurs instantly after I click the final "Install" button, having just selected the folder in which to install the game. I have attempted to mitigate the issue by running the program in compatibility modes (all of them) both as a user, administrator and through the Vista Super-Administrator account. I've tried swapping out my memory (removing the flash and running solely onboard, changing onboard from the present 2GB Corsair XMS2 to 2GB of Crucial Ballistix, all run in dual channel mode) and closing off all other running tasks. At no point did my onboard monitor indicate that I was ever utilizing more than forty percent of my memory, even when I'd cut the virtual down to 1GB and was running just 2GB on the motherboard.
Suffice to say, I'm stumped. Any aid that might be lent would be vastly appreciated...
