*.exe File

[8tuk]

could anybody help me with the *.exe file?

i've downloaded few games/programs from kazaa lite. the type of file is *.exe.

when i click on it, it comes out with new small screen which says

"program too big to fit in memory".

i've try to look around this forum to find the solution but could'nt find it. maybe because i don't know what the program called.

plzz help me. :(

just wondering if you actually looked before you clicked to d/l :P

ive never had that kind of error, but i get most of my apps from emule
(less corruption)
only have a 256 meg ram, and never anything like that.....
what the hell, hang out here, someone could probably help ya,
id just chalk it up to corruption, but im no expert, and could be way wrong :unsure:

but hey, you say its doing this on all klite d/l&#39;s?
i KNOW klite doesnt have 100% corrupted files,
so some kind of system prob? not sure.....

hang out for a while, theres some good & helpful people around,
just have to be patient :)

my xp is dutch, but you can use the picture to get the idea where the option is: extension show/not (sry if you have slow connection)

Was it really necessary to quote his whole post and the image he posted?...probably not

Try doing few things. Go to properties and go in Compatibility Mode. And Select Run this Program in Compatibility mode for "Windows 98" or Windows 95. Try running it.
If that doesnt work after changing the compatibility mode play with different memory and graphic mode.

Some of the problems i had earlier like this in xp was resolved through this. So it might just work for you as well ;)


-
Normally, that error comes if you dont have enough memory to run the application. As XP requires more than Win98se so you might not have enough. Plus if its a bad application then the allocated memory might too big than required.
In any case, try the above, it might work :)

sry to see that it didnt work out :(. try some stuff that i.am suggested.
in the future try not to dl .exe files anymore as most of the time they don&#39;t work and if the person is sharing his full HDD you might have dl&#39;d a file from the gamefolder installed on his HDD (though i think the err mess would be kinda diff); try going for bin/cue files instead (although it would take a lot longer to dl with a slow connection)

PS. you dont need to quote a post if your posting directly behind it..
i took the screenshot off

I had run into the same probelm running a large *.exe in XP awhile ago. I was able to run it under Win98. Another time, I had to rename the file to .zip extension and unzip it with Winzip since it was self unaip exe file. Now, I got the same problem again. The file is Symantec.Norton.SystemWorks.2004-Final.ios.exe It&#39;s not a zip file. I suspect it&#39;s a CD image, and I should rename it to ios extension and make a CD from it. Anyone had experienced with this ?

WARNING

this could be a potential trojan

believe me i&#39;ve got a few friends that are hackers and this would be the 60% of the excuses for the program not to do anything
