Visual Studio 6 setup

I am having trouble installing Visual Studio Six on all of our new systems. They have 2.1 GHz Intel Celeron's, 522mb ram, and 36 GB of free hard drive space. It says "There is insufficient memory or disk space to run setup. The setup program requires about 2000kb of free disk space. I watched task manager while it is running setup and the CPU is running at 100% the entire time. It is doing this on all of our new systems. They don't have any problems with any other software. It works on our older systems that have only 1 GHz processors, 10gb hard drives, and 128 megs of ram. Can anyone help.

Sounds like a memory leak within your OS.. what version of windows are you running? You may want to manually adjust your swap size to be twice the size of your memory allotment, that may fix the problem for you.. Also, lower the performance of your video card to the 3rd knotch instead of the 4th.. Get to it by going to device manager, last tab, performance I believe..

Yeah - I doubt it's the CPU - the error msg is stating it's a memory issue. (Tho they've been wrong before )

While your looking at your Task Manager, check the memory situation, see what process are chewing it up.

Another thing that it could be, and I've had this happen before to me.. One IC on the memory stick is bad, but durring the initial test durring bootup it doesn't test all of the IC's, just tests to see if they all report, which the chips do, but one circuit on the chip could be hosed, which would keep you from utilizing all of the ram on that stick..

In stance I was only able to use 1/4 of a 128mb stick before getting out of memory errors.. try swapping the sticks of ram if you have more than one and see if that helps..
