PCSX2 v 0.9.5 does not work

Okay, here's the situation; I'm trying to use the SSE2 build (the one without the "T" in the name) and it says "cannot allocate enough virtual memory, would you like to use PCSX2 0.9.2t build instead. I know very well that this PCs specs are pretty darn good IIRC. Here they are

CPU - Pentium 4 3.20GHz (2 CPUs with SSE/SSE2/SSE3/etc)
RAM - 1024MB DDR 433 RAM
OS - WinXP Professional (or home, I forget) SP2 build
Video - nVidia GeForce 7800 XT PCI-E 256MB GDDR-3 RAM

Everything has been up to date (all the drivers). I don't know WHY this happens but it does.

Try allocating more virtual memory?

What's the best way to do that? I've gone to msconfig and tried disabling some unecessary programs (also used task manager) and still no success What the crap!?

Well, are you running any programs while attempting to use PCSX2? And are you sure you're using the correct version? Because there isn't a 0.9.5 at the moment.

I meant to say "0.9.4" but made a typo. Anyways, I've tried several times to clear up any unecessary programs, but to no avail.

Go to System in the control panel. Go to the advanced tab and click settings for the preformance box. This will open a new window. Click the advanced tab there and click change in the Virtual Memory box. Click the custom size button and try increaseing the maximum amount. When you are done press set, then ok. You will be then asked to restart. You now have more virtual memory.

I stand corrected; it's telling me that I don't have enough physical memory. Okay. Apparently my old PC with 512MB launched that version fine and the new PC with 1GB RAM isn't enough..? Okay that sure does make "perfect"sense...!?![/i]

Windows XP uses alot more memory than previous versions. Even though you actually have more physical memory, there might be less availible for this reason.

Tried setting the virtual memory size to "automatic"? Just a guess...

it uses about 128mb of ram here if i close all the other stuff down including my virus scanner/firewall etc. and around 512mb with everything running.

See, on my old PC, somehow I got it running on 512MBs. Why is it I can't get it running on 1GB?

i run it and it asks me a question and i log off and back on and it works fine oO.

Yeah, that didn't work either.

Okay, I seem to have found a bugfix version on the website and now I can play FFX at half speed and even had some music and voices!

Yeah, make that TWO typos; I meant to say 0.9.2, but either way; I can play FFX at a somewhat playable speed. Can't wait till 0.9.4 comes out.
