I know there was a thread on this but I can't find it.

I recently starting getting the "Out of Memory" errors again when trying to start up EiANW.

Why? This is so ridiculous!

First off, it says I need 256MB of memory. I have 4GB of memory in my machine and I only had IE open with 3 tabs. I checked the memory usage and there was plenty of memory available for the program to use so...

1. It's obviously a broken error message so please remove it.
2. Who doesn't have a spare 256MB of memory these days? Come on, it's 2010 and memory is super cheap and anyone running XP or higher probably has at least 1GB of memory in their machine.
3. Even if they don't have enough memory, let the OS page that ****, that's what it's for.

Please remove this annoying and useless memory checker. Thank you. It's buggy and is no good anyways.

It is gone in 1.08!
The mem checker is only valid in 32b systems!

You mean it's only valid in 32 bit system in 1.08 or that it WAS only valid in 32 bit systems and now it's gone altogether?

This really should be gone altogether IMO.

BTW, I have Win7 64bit while getting this error.

The mem check is gone altogether. The amount of memory is REALLY low and should not impact any current system today (Even a pretty loaded system). This was designed in Win98SE with 128MB and that could have been tricky (BUT rarely was in my testing).
