This solution worked wonders for me, I honestly don't think I would have been able to properly finish the game without it, so, thanks a bunch, DoctorGOGgles, +1 to you.
Sadly, though, my girlfriend's PC also runs on 32-bit Windows, as does my own, but the 32-bit workaround ended up creating a whole world of memory issues and errors on her machine, so, if anyone's experiencing this, I think it's worthwhile letting you know of the way to revert the values to the original RAM allocation:
- Do the whole process again (run Command Line using admin priviliges, i.e., Run As Administrator) but type in 'BCDedit/deletevalue IncreaseUserVA' -- without the quotation marks --instead, press Enter and restart your computer. NOTE: if you're running a 64-bit Windows, there's no need to do this, because you never had to do the RAM allocation procedure in the first place -- this is for those of us using 32-bit Windows versions, after we had to go through this process, *and* if we ended up experiencing memory issues.
