Looks like your Windows pretty specifically told you that you don't have enough memory to run the game. How high were you trying to run the settings within TESO, and did you try running the game with them lower? Did you have anything else running at the time? When was the last time you restarted your computer? When was the last time you ran a temporary file and cache cleaner like CCleaner? If you have a SATA drive (and not SSD) when was the last time you defragmented? Is your HDD full? How much RAM do you even have? Which version of Windows OS? Are you trying to play on a full desktop or on a laptop? There are lots of things that could contribute to this, a great many of which are things you need to check on your own end. For instance, if you are attempting to play on Windows XP system, then 2GB of RAM will work but you'll likely need to play with lowered settings. If you're running anything besides Windows XP, you'll need a minimum of 4GB RAM just because the newer OS's use more of it just to run. If you have a 32 bit system, you can't have more than 4GB of RAM total (and you probably won't be able to run great settings). If you have a 64 bit system, you should really never run it with less than 4GB of RAM if you want your games to look decent and still run, and really you should try to get 8GB of RAM in there. If you have 8GB or more of RAM and a 64-bit OS already, then I'm not sure what to suggest. I haven't had any memory issues with the game.

I was getting ready to try out MO, but managed to bork it before I even installed a quarter of my current NMM Skyrim modlist. Very much looking forward to the profiling beta, especially since I have 6+ OC's I'll drop into most NMM supported games I play, and I think it covers more games than MO too.

Perhaps this is only an issue on mod-thread posts, and it is entirely likely you have this disabled for a reason, but is there any chance you could allow deletion of your own comments? I had a comment not attach as a response in a mod page thread just now, and I was unable to delete it. I edited it to ask for ask for it to be deleted then reposted the response properly. The comment *had* been properly attached when I decided to see if I could delete it from the forum thread, so it ended up making my edit into a third post and the response is double posted there. :confused: Even if the function was restricted to the actual forums (but correctly updated the mod page thread), this kind of self-editing and moderation might help keep clearer communications. Alternately, allowing mod-page personnel (be it the owner of the mod/page or someone they've given access to help them) to "Hide and ask for moderation" on their own posts to clean up items like accidental double-posts would be useful.

I used to think this. I even wrote thesis in college on how DRM damages consumer trust in the developers, how it doesn't actually prevent piracy, and how some forms of DRM were so aggressive they actually damaged the end-users machines. I don't believe that the Steam DRM on Skyrim does any of these things, well, except for actually preventing people from trying to pirate the game. Which comes up when they try to then modify their game, since generally they can't. My response for that? "Go buy the game, and support the makers of it." I was annoyed at first when the DRM required that my husband and I both own a copy of the game, as many single player games we will just share between us. In the end though, we still bought a second copy of the game, and quite happily play concurrently. Before we did that, we just took turns as to who would play. The Steam DRM isn't a model for DRM boycotting, it will not damage your computer by it being there, and a lot of users will already use Steam to download games. This primarily ensures that we get the updates right away, how is that a bad thing?
