I'd make sure you still have the 512 mb detected by your system, then try to reduce the amount of background programs to free up some ram.

512 MB is kind of on the low side for ram these days - if you have space for extra ram in your machine you would probably see improvement going up to 1 GB.

Hi xtanter...

I'd be willing to bet that your video adapter is sucking up about 64MB of your RAM and is the reason you get the "Not enough RAM" message. Anymore, 512 MB of RAM is not that much...adding more RAM to the machine will likely solve the problem providing the rest of your hardware will also meet the game's requirements.
