SPEAK ZULU WITH US (Beginner & Advanced)
PC-version only

Operating System Related Issue (Windows XP & Windows 2000)

Possible Error message received on starting or installing Speak Zulu With Us:

This application requires at least 3MB of free virtual memory to run.

The above error has been experienced by some of our XP and 2000 users when running the Speak Zulu With Us programs. The error is caused by conflicts between Microsoft Windows XP and 2000 (With 1GB or more memory) and the version of Macromedia Director used to create our programs. There is a workaround to solve this problem. Follow the link below to find the solution on the web, or work through our outline of the solution below.

Note: Overall system performance may be hampered by these settings. Setting the virtual memory to a lesser value is a workaround to get some applications to run. For best performance Microsoft recommends, not to set the initial size to less than the minimum recommended size under Total paging file size for all drives. (The recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your system.)
