I consulted my smart friend and asked about why I get a message whenever I play VMK for a long time saying my memory is low. It turns out, that VMK has a flaw in it's programming that takes memory from you computers and doesn't send it back to the main compueter.

In other words, VMK is a memory drain!!
 
I have noticed that too! Especially if I open explorer and firefox on the same computer. And Astroblasters is a major memory hog!
 
yes and no. A lot of programs do not re-allocate memory back to the system. windows has tried to solve this but only with limited success. This doesnt mean much, unless you are in one of the following catagories ... 1) Are the kind of person that only reboots 1 time a month or when the power goes out, 2) has 50 things going on at once that require a lot of memory or 3) have a computer with less then 256mb of ram. I always had at least 512mb and it ran ok, even when i had 3 or 4 VMK windows open at once, but i have played on machines that have 256mb and 1 window runs slow enough, i cant imagine 2 or 3. So for those of you that fall into 1 of those 3 catagories i suggest this, try rebooting before you play VMK and dont open any programs until you are done VMK'ing. Make sure you dont many things starting when you boot up. ( Advanced users can do this through msconfig, but i wont go into details because the kiddies might kill their machine ). Only have 1 instance of VMK running at a time, and try not to have other Internet windows open. Playing music and other things will also drain a sytems memory.
 
LOL it is like one of those scifi things.VMK is the alien that sucks your brain out.(except the brain is your computer's memory)
 

Never had that message...even on days when I am on for long periods of time.

yes me too so i dont agree with thred because all you have to do to play the game is to install shockwave and shockwave can be used for all sorths of things.there is no spechil vmk software you have to download like yeti vision and astro blasters so thats why i disagree with this thred
