Subject: Cannot allocate required memory error...

My own website and clan
http://www.xgclan.com

just updated my windows xp sp3 partition with the latest updates and installed the 9.6 ati drivers and now i got this when my halo servers start(for halo and halo ce) as well as normal halo and halo ce:
Cannot allocate required memory. Some other application has loaded where halo needs to be located.

my friend has exactly the same problem he also has windows xp service pack 3 and an ati gpu.

I was wondering if other people have the same problem and maybe have a fix for it as well?
or is this just an problem with windows xp sp3 Dutch(non English version of xp?)

I had an issue with: Gathering Exception data which produced: Halo executable has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. (From the article you posted)

what I did was uninstall Halo and then reinstall Halo. If you still have the problem after the game is installed again and updated, then I guess you will have to roll back those updates.

I honsestly don't know how, but I would check for the updated in add/or remove programs.

Well the obvious reason for your trouble is that you are Dutch, thereby making you a seaman. And everyone knows the interwebz hates seamen.

Couldn't you just download an older version of Explorer and use that?
