I just downloaded the uc_full_demo. When I run the exe, the following error transpires:


Cannot load VDM IPX/SPX Support
Program too big to fit in memory



Any ideas?

[IrishArmy]

btw im using Windows XP Professional SP1

1) 'Program to big to fit in memory' often means the file is corrupt.

2) Where did you download it from?

[IrishArmy]

Fileplanet, Midwest server I believe using their new download control.

[DREADA]

Oh. What was the date of the file? The reason I ask is that 'Gamers Hell' had a corupt file (dated 9/2/04 I think) and they were awaiting a new file. I dunno what was the situation with Fileplanet or the others.

[Supreme Cmdr]

The Fileplanet file is corrupted and they have not fixed it. Try the other servers on our downloads page.

Fileshack files are duds too.

My advice to 56k-ers: look out for a *new* file before waiting for a bad 300MB d/l (good job I've got a pipe )

Actually, I contacted Fileshack and they sent me this statement. So, the files are just fine.

I've found this to be not the case. First of all I never downloaded the
initial corrupted demo. Though something could still have gone wrong
transferring the demo from the 3000AD server to ours, I downloaded a copy
just to be sure and indeed it installs just fine. We did have server
problems yesterday when the Unreal Tournament 2004 demo was released, which
might've resulted in some downloads being dropped.

[/indent]I downloaded the demo last night from Gamers Hell, I was going to wait since I plan on picking it up next week but saw people saying that the demo does does not work, and I get an error right away in the install. I do the ctrl-alt-del and get the close program box and right next to UC install name is (Not Responding). I also download UT2004 demo from them and that was fine. They also placed the UC demo in their own zip with two other files (a gamers hell faq file and some other file don't rememeber off hand what the other file was) which they did not do to UT2004.
Why can't these guys leave these files as is and not mess with them by placing them in their own zips. Anyway, just thought you'd like to know this.

[Supreme Cmdr]

Fileplanet just confirmed that they have replaced the file and tested it.

[/indent]I d/l from Fileshack this morning twice, my downloads didn't drop. The files just crashed when I tried to install it as if corrupt, I dunno.

In any case, I'm gonna try Gamer's Hell again (queues at Fileplanet are just too long) and hopefully get me the real thing at the w/e

I love Gamers Hell!!

Ok first I got the game and was downloading the demo from file planet to try out the Tutorials. The file downloaded but it would not work. But we covered that; my question is the file I downloaded had this file name”_full_demo.exe”(without quotes). And now I cannot remove it from my computer, I have tried rebooting it and when I try to remove it is tells me the file is in use and cannot be removed. I also ran the Anti-Virus software with no affect. Any Ideas

Boot into safe mode and try to delete it then.

[REPULSE]

Tried Safe mode. No luck. Tried aslo comand line boot but can not find the desktop dir.

[Bandus]

The desktop directory is USUALLY located in the following path.

C:DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGSUSER NAMEDESKTOP

Where USER NAME is the name you login your system with (assuming your using WIN XP OR WIN2K)

[REPULSE]

Got it !!! Thanks for your help. Nasty little thing that was.

When in the Commander's scenario, I transported down to the planet. My AE was all white. Is that an error?
