Memory allocation error

[iinfinity]

yet again im having more problems running pcsx2. i never had this problem when i ued to use xp, but now that ive dual booted, ive re-installed xp specifically for the emulator, but im getting this error message:
ive locked pages in memory in the administrative settings in the control panel, but still no luck. can anyone tell me why this peculiar error is happening?

im running xp professional 64
athlon 64 400+
2 x geforce 6600 sli
1024 mb ddr ram
nvidia raid stripe type 0 @ 330 gb

do you have a lot of programs running in the background? try to shut down as many background/systray programs as you can and make sure nothing is running, that should enable it to reserve the memory space.

There is a registry setting to give the current user the right to re-allocate extra mem; this only happens when using VM build of course.

Delete the registry setting for pcsx2 in registry then run the program again, it will ask you if you want to grant the current user access to do the above.....

Pfew..

Easier to close other programs in the "backstage" then manipulateing with registry entries. If he's not enough experienced he can shut down his PC and then Good Bye. Close many programs; and if that doesn't help, Log out and then back to the Win. That must solve your Problem.

OR google a program called "Enditall" very useful for closing all but the required backround process's

ive tried closing as many backround services as possible already but it still wont run, im guessing its to do with what nepsquare said. im not too up on registry editing, because ive never had to. how do i remove the registry entry you mentioned?
