Hi,
Just installed FS2. Havent touched FSO yet.
Setup sees 0MB of ram.
Help?
...

Please post your fs2_open.log file. Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

I have not installed fs open yet, as stated.
Just the base FS2 game.

AFAIK retail doesn't work if you have more than 2GB of RAM on your machine due to a bug in the variable type used to hold the amount of RAM detected. Best to install and use FSO.

By "setup" you mean the launcher, right ?
Retail's launcher bugs when you have more than 2GB ram - probably some int or short overflowing and going right into negative values or something. It's a known issue. We're talking about a 99-era game after all.
You should be perfectly able to use one of our recent launchers to play FS2 retail:
wxLauncher (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=67950.0)
Launcher 5.5g (http://swc.fs2downloads.com/files/Launcher55g.zip)
But yeah, while you're at it, better just go ahead and set up FSO (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=78710.0).

Great, thank you, solved.
