When i was playing my Space battle game it said there was "not enough memory to execute the game." How would i make a game that uses less memory?

That doesn't sound right. It sounds more like a windows error.

Because even if you had almost no ram, if you managed to be using win98 with 32mb so there was only 4 free for anything.....windows uses ur hard drive as additional memory. I don't see any possible way you could overload ur memory with a GE game unless it was a windows error.

First test your ram. Google ram test. the ones that reboot your computer for the test are best. For example, every liveCD for unbuntu linux has one.

Here is one by microsoft for windows. http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

this one is probably better, but you will want to run it overnight as you wont be able to use your computer at the same time.

Good luck. And check that your hard drive isnt full.
