<blockquote>Quote:<hr> Ok people, after many frusterating nights and painfull days I've managed to come up with a work-around. This error is due to the way the 9x archstructure utilizes memory addresses. If you have Win 9x/ME and 512 megs or greater of memory, you will almost certainly experience this crash. Planetside takes up a very large amount of memory, and when windows uses it all up, theres no room for new addresses to be added. Thats why we need to reserve some memory to make sure the system can assign addresses and function as normal. That said, here we go, and welcome to a stable and functional Planetside.
1. Go to the command line (run) and type "msconfig" This will bring up the microsoft system configuration set.
2. Select the "Advanced" Option
3. Select "Limit Memory" and enter a number roughly 50-100 megs less than your RAM total. Stablility may go up or down depending on the amount you "set aside" (IE: I have 512m so I use 450 as my limiter number)
4. Apply, reboot and prepare to die!

I did this and I can now play for 5-6 hours at a time no drops. Thought Id pass it around! Subtex rocks
