There is no command line switch I know of.

I have not had time to investigate the VM requirement. I was not aware of one. I will try to find out this weekend.

I had my system configured with 512MB RAM and a 128 MB swap file. I kept getting virtual memory errors. I set my swap file to "Windows Managed" and haven't had any problems since.

Something inside the game forces the use of the swap file.

Using ANY MS product without a swapfile (VM) is not wise. This goes for the OS you are using.

Just another way to know MS loves you...
