I've got some more info, but it doesn't seem to help. Searching on "Director
Player" and "Virtual Memory" turns up tons of hits on other software, totally
unrelated to the RCX. But in every case, the listed workaround is the same-
increase your virtual memory settings. I'm running with 1GB of memory, and the
default VM settings of 1920-3840MB. That's WAY over 3MB.
As you might expect, increasing the settings didn't help. I also uninstalled
the RCX software and all versions of the Flash player on my machine, and then
installed the RCX stuff again. No luck.
