mansen 1 Posted June 12, 2012 1. Clean up your C drive. This error is basically telling you it cannot use the pagefile (a temporary spot for game data)2. How much RAM does your gaming laptop have?3. Are you running other programs while playing?4. See 1 once more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mansen 1 Posted June 12, 2012 Well - you probably have your answer right there then. You'll probably need to clean up your SSD. (This is why SSDs are a bad choice for gaming on laptops - you just don't have the room for proper gaming)Not sure if you can reduce the amount of data being loaded into the game from outside - turning down texture quality and such. Too tired to check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mansen 1 Posted June 12, 2012 OR move the swap file to your D drive. Your games will load a wee bit slower but it could/should fix your problem.See the guide below on how to change your swap file settings.http://mintywhite.com/vista/vmaintenance/performance-boost-move-page-file-to-another-physical-drive/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
