the universe does not want me to play FF

[carryonplease]

So last summer I discovered the wonder that is FF. Then i spilled beer on my laptop and had to use an old computer that would not run FF.

Still don't have my laptop yet but I was able to acquire a decent dell windows machine to use for the time being.

naturally I am pumped that I will be able to play again.

Except upon launch, FF crashes and gives me a memory error. something like 008xx7833 is trying to reference 024380df09 and has failed.

The laptop is a bit old but it has 2 GB of RAM and a decent video card. Centrino Duo @1.83

I tried google, but I couldn't really find much. It seems people that have this issue with other half life mods cant really fix it or there are always different ways.

anyone have any thoughts? I really wanna play again
