Hmmm...I must of misread your earlier post then and assumed that you were on a Laptop. Sorry about that.</description>

		<description>Life-Support: Yeah, we do take people off of life support and say it&#039;s not murder, but I think that&#039;s either our pathetic attempt at justifying it, if only to put our conscience at ease.  That&#039;s still a person we&#039;re killing.  So you&#039;re right, the two are no different.

*Slaps self hard three times*

STOP IT!

Okay, yeah, that&#039;s the last one.

You know what?  I&#039;m just gonna leave for a few days.  No more.

(Watch as I come back and keep arguing.  Sigh...)</description>

		<description>@ Evil Roda:

Ah, so you&#039;re using a Lappy I see. Laptops tend to use the RAM as sort of a Graphical Memory, which explains the odd value you gave. Usually the Graphical Memory is set through the BIOS on most Laptops and can be reduced. 

While I&#039;m not too sure if you&#039;re running at the minimum already. You can always go into the BIOS and double check if the GFX memory is at the minimum setting.</description>

		<description>Then that&#039;s the problem - the game takes more RAM than that. I&#039;d probably recommend something like 800MB as a minimum.

The reason for this is that Construct has to load all of its textures - including some rather large images from the intro and outro - into the memory before it starts. Yes, that&#039;s silly, and there&#039;s an option to do it differently... but that&#039;s not working properly and makes the game crash incessantly. So, until a newer version of Construct comes out and fixes this bug, Phenomenon 32 will have fairly high system requirements. There&#039;s absolutely nothing I can do about this.</description>

		<description>RAM is 448 MB, and yes, I realize that&#039;s less than most laptops. I have no idea about the graphics card.</description>

		<description>@ Evil Roda:
I have the same setup, say for the processor). It usually takes my computer around a solid minute to load the game. 

Also, can you give us anymore information about your rig? Graphics Card? Current RAM? If you need help locating either of these, I can provide some assistance.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m running on Windows XP, Service Pack 2, with a built-in AMD Athlon processor. How long does the game take to load?</description>

		<description>@Evil Roda: That sounds like the game is still loading. What kind of computer are you running this on?

@Wolfgang: I still don&#039;t see how this makes abortion murder at the point where, original genetic code or not, the embryo has not developed into anything like a *functioning* human being. I&#039;m not saying it&#039;s something that should be done casually - but it&#039;s also not the same as killing someone. Do note, also, that in many situations we have no problem removing someone from life support, and that&#039;s not called murder. How is this any different?
But yes, we should probably get off this. Hmm... game. Ah, yes, the controls. I&#039;m definitely going to look into making them a bit less sensitive. I got used to it after a while, and I think most people can, but it&#039;s almost certainly better if it&#039;s a little easier.</description>
