    when i try to start up half life 1 it says
    "your system reported only -6204.00k of physical memory, half life requires at least 16mb."
    i have 4 gb of ram and 244gb free on my hard drive and am running vista 64bit edition.
    what does this message mean.
    i have a similiar problem with halo 1 but i can just ignore it and the game plays alright.
    this error message with half life won't let me ignore the problem.
    i can play heaps of other games like age of empires 1 and 3, medieval 2 and battle for middle earth 2.
    can some one help me?
