Hi, I've been following Mental Omega for a while and decided to try it out. I have the original CD install of RA2 and Yuri's Revenge running on an old laptop - HP Pavilion DV1000, WindowsXP SP3, 2GB RAM.

I followed the MO installation steps but on running the client, it hammers the hard disk for a while then gives me a 'Insufficient Memory to continue execution of the program' error.

I'm guessing the laptop (RAM is maxed out at 2GB I think) just isn't up to it - is there anything else I can try to get it working on this old machine?

section of client log where it fails below.

Thanks for any advice, I'd really like to get this working, as I was a huge RA2 fan.
