how to fix this ?

[Newbie's Journey]

probably u will ask me to buy more ram, but probably there's another way to fix it, when the game starts, the game is stuttering very frequently, like very 2 to 3 second when i move, but once i hear a sound from the window and the message in the following picture displays, the stuttering problem will be gone, and the game will be a lot more fluent. So what can do i fix this before i start the game so that i don't have to go through that stuttering periode at the beginning of the game ?

you need more HD space

yeah, i got 4.61gb free in my main drive where i installed the game, i also have 7.39gb in my secondary drive

maybe thats not enough
I panic when thers only 60gigs left..... 12gigs I would faint^^

no but the problem i wanna solve is not hd space. As i said, it stutters at the first 15 to 25 mins of the game (or less than that, but i don't remember exactly). While it's stuttering, it's unplayable for me, it's like lagging crazily. I have to wait till my computer says that I'm low on virtual memory, then it will add more to it or something, then the game will be running a lot more fluently. Is there a way to add virtual memory manuelly so that i don't have to wait to my computer does itself and that I don't have to go through that stuttering periode anymore ??

Right-click "My Computer", select "Advanced", Select "Settings" for "Performance", select the tab "Advanced".

At the bottom there should be a button called "Change" or something, click that and set the size to User-defined. I have mine set at 1024 to 2048, which is almost overkill, but I can afford the space, so try starting at 512 - 1024.

When done, press "Define" and close. Can't remember if you need to restart, but I doubt it.

I don't know how much this picture may help seeing as it ain't in English, but hopefully it can visually guide you.

What exactly does that do?

What exactly does that do?

Increases the size of the pagefile, which is to my understanding the same as virtual memory, though I've heard elsewhere that they're two completely different things...

In essense, it's the same as RAM, with the exception that it works off your harddrive, and at slower speeds.
