Hi guys, can someone provide me with the info to make win7 .32bit large address aware.
My squad mate has used it before to run CloD, but a recent system reinstall has reset to default... and i can't find the info again....
thanks

To enable the 3GB switch on Windows Vista™ or Windows 7:
Right-click Command Prompt in the Accessories program group of the Start menu. Click Run as Administrator.
At the command prompt, enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072"
Restart the computer.
To disable the 3GB switch:
Right-click on Command Prompt in the Accessories program group of the Start menu. Click Run as Administrator.
At the command prompt, enter "bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa"
Restart the computer.

Thread stickied.
Thanks for posting this how-to, Phil. Many incoming new players may find this very handy. I'm going to incorporate this into the Beginners' Section.

Pardon my ignorance but , what is this for?
64 bit for the win!!!
Phil, you're fabulous! I had run across this solution a couple of years ago associated with another sim, but had not implemented it. I was getting very frustrated with CloD and its habitual launcher crashes and stutters. This single command has turned CloD into a stable and enjoyable experience. I heartily recommend that anyone running 32-bit Windows and up to 4GB of RAM take a few moments and see what a difference it can make.
Hi Phil, Thanks for that tip it has certainly improved Cliffs of Dover no more crashes to desktop.
This is weird because I apparently used Phil's edit and it worked to fix my stutter issues in 2013. Now, after having built a newer, faster machine, I'm trying to get CloD to work as well as it did on my older, slower machine and I'm combing the forums to see what I might have missed. I thought maybe this cmd line fix might be the key, but every time I enter the prescribed command, I get a response saying, "bcedit 3072 is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file". I tried typing it with variations on spacing such as "bcedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072" (without the quotation marks), bcedit/set IncreaseUserVa 3072", "bcedit/setIncreaseUserVa 3072", "bcedit/set IncreaseUserVa 3072", all with the same resulting cmd response. I even tried not hitting "enter" at the end of the command line entry and just restarting the computer, but I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas?
Doh! Boy, do I have chicken embryo all over my face. I reread Phil's post and I had left out a crucial letter "d". Instead of reading "bcdedit", no wonder my attempt was unsuccessful. I was trying it with bcedit. Senior moments come at the most unwelcome times.
