    When I play modern warfare 2 sometimes the game crashes or I alt tab into this error message saying "your computer is low on memory, please close X program" with iw4mp under it. How do I get rid of this, I am on windows 7 64 bit the default OS. I tried some of the solutions online and the regedit one isn't working because I can't edit the files.

    Thanks guys!

    How much memory do you have installed? How many applications do you have running when you're playing MW2?
