Project64K Help

[GameMaster0097]

Hi, I'm getting errors for Project64k that say "Not enough memory for Jump Tabel!" and "Failed to allocate Memory". I started getting these errors today and i've been using this for over a year. I tried looking up how to fix this but couldn't find a real answer. I also tried around 5-6 different Project64K emulators and Porject64kve and I still get the error. No other emulator gives me this problem. Can you all please help me fix this?

Restart your computer

That didn't work. When I went to sleep yesterday, I had my computer turned off the entire time, when I turned my computer back on, the emulator still didn't work. What can I do to fix this?

[Zorlon]

Roll back your machine before the problems started

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Recovery\System Restore

Look for a restore point before the problem started, you can also scan to see what progs are affected (I recommend you do that to check if you need to re-install anything after also some of the installed progs may of caused the issue to start with)

A restore point only affects installed drivers and programs. documents and images and generally any downloaded files are not touched by the restore point

It may also be a virus causing issues

EDIT make that rollback a few days back, just in case

Do you mean you don't have a recovery point, or just can't find recovery?

Start\Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore

[Zorlon]

Like I can see your screen grab when it's that small

Anyway in that version of windows you could only do that if you made system backups from what I remember

To find it though hit Start>Help & Support>

Look under
Pick a Task
then look for
Undo changes to your computer with System Restore

LOL so many ways to find it, just like windows used to be, oh that is because it is how windows used to be...

It didn't work. I set it back 4 days ago and I got this problem yesterday.

I recommend you do a full virus scan then update all your hardware drivers, install/re-install updates for Direct X, C++, Dot Net and Java, the installers should fix any problems that may of happens to any of the Direct X, C++, Dot Net or Java files

Direct X, C++ and Dot Net are all Mircosoft distro files you only need the Runtime files
Java is by Oracle

If it's still not working I would say re-install windows and start fresh

Because you are just giving us very generic information and we don't know what you have downloaded or what dodgy sites you of happened accross we can't give you exacts on how to fix this issue of yours, can't say I have heard of anyone every having this exact problem either

What information do you want? Ok, does this info help?
The day before I got this problem, I downloaded project64k 0.13. I was already using version 1.2. Next day, both versions stopped working. I downloaded around 5 other versions of project64k and none of them worked, so I deleted all off them. Then I downloaded project64kve. It did not work but I did not delete it. After I did the system restore, it still didn't work so I deleted it and downloaded the latest version of project64k and it didn't work. Is there a way to get project64k completely out of my computer so I can start over like getting it out of the registry of the computer or by doing something else you know of that will work?
By the way, normal Project64 works fine. I downloaded 2.1 and it works perfectly but for somereason project64k doesn't work.

Assuming it is an issue with leftover files or registry keys, you could try downloading ccleaner and using that; http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

Usage is fairly simple. On the side the two tabs you'll be concerned with are "Cleaner" and "Registry". Run the cleaner part on its default settings, then go to the Registry option. Here, click "scan for issues", then "fixed selected issues". You can choose to backup the registry at this point but it generally isn't necessary. Then, click "fix all selected issues".

The important part here is to then restart your computer, and do the registry scan again. Repeat until no results come up for the registry scan; this makes sure there are no unneeded registry keys left over at all. Finally, log off then back onto windows and try your project64k again.

If this doesn't fix the issue I would assume it's a bug in the program itself; I've had similar issues even using the regular releases of PJ64, where multiple copies needed to be downloaded to run them. This is one of the few pieces of software I've ever had such unexplained issues with.

A rollback should of cleaned the reg but it's not a bad idea to run a reg cleaner, not sure how well the rollback feature works in XP, it has been some years since I last used XP and never needed to rollback for that matter

[GameMaster0097]

It didn't work.
You guys now anyway to force project64k open? Also, can the normal project 64 i have on here could be causing the problem?

[Zorlon]

You tried something simple like running a fresh download of it from a new folder?

If reg is not the issue then a settings file may be the problem like using an old one with a new version of the software

[GameMaster0097]

Is there a way to be sure that project64k is not on my computer and is there a way to make it like project64k was never on my computer so I can start over?

[Zorlon]

You already done the roll back that would of done that same as a reg clean would of.

Just try running from a fresh new folder as removing reg settings alone has not helped. It may very well be a settings file rather than reg entries.

The only way to be certain though is a clean install of windows itself, that I don't recommend unless you have the original install discs and don't mind having to phone microsoft to get it activated again.
