Is there any way 2 skip the RAM check that is inituated before a program is installed, such as Dragon Naturally Speaking?,.,, OR!
Is there a windows hack that allows you to fake the amount of ram u have or somthing of the like?

**Deturbanator** · 05-29-2007, 05:43 PM

usually if u dont have enough ram to meet a games min requirements then it isnt a good idea to install the program. Um i personally have never seen a program that will fake ur availiable ram, but if there is one i would assume it is dangerous to play with.

quick google got me this:
"Hey,
There is most likely a way around it. I have used this method in the past, but not recently, so you may have to google for instructions.

Basically you will have to copy the installer to a writeable ISO file on your drive (use diskutility to make a backup of the disc). Then locate the installer and 'view package contents'. Somewhere in there are a few .plist files that have scripts which check your computer for compatibility. You have to modify the text files to disable the checks or change the check values to something more compatible with your machine. save file, run installer, happy app.

I have used this method to install DVD Studio Pro (G4 or better required) onto an ibook G3 700."

hope it helps a little that is for mac btw so it may be a bit different for windows, but the concept is the same

I dont see any ini files or text for that matter that say anything about ram.

**Frenchb0ygenius** · 05-29-2007, 06:04 PM

its gonna be crap anyways if u install it. just get more ram its not that expensive these days.(well in the u.s)

**AbYsMaL_-_WaRT** · 05-29-2007, 06:08 PM

I'm on the borderline, It requires me 2 have 500 or something and I have 412.
Also, Its not a game, Its just a speech to text program called [Dragon naturally Speaking].

Thanks for the help Deturbanator

**Frenchb0ygenius** · 05-29-2007, 06:11 PM

ya, 500 is the minimum right? even the minimum requirements run slow

But it will also make everything else run slow.

**AbYsMaL_-_WaRT** · 05-29-2007, 06:21 PM

Once again Im not concernd about that, I just want it to run

**Deturbanator** · 05-29-2007, 06:23 PM

can u do me a favor and click properties on my computer, then do a print screen and upload the image. dont ask why just do it.

**Urza** · 05-29-2007, 06:23 PM

Seems pretty pointless. Sacrificing your compy's performance so you have the novelty of speech recognition.

Those specs should be fine for DSpeaking.

I personally have used the program on an old PIII system with half a gig of RAM.

**AbYsMaL_-_WaRT** · 05-29-2007, 06:49 PM
