Thank you so much for posting this guide R1CH. I've had this problem since release and I haven't been bothered to fix it until now. Finally, I can run SC2 perfectly.

I'm also experiencing this issue, I'm on Windows 7. Haven't been playing Starcraft 2 for a while, but this happens. What gives?

1. Decide to finally do something about this "paged pool memory" problem.
2. Google "paged pool memory".
3. R1CH has already written a guide about it.
4. TL saves the day again.

I'm getting this error as well on Windows 7.

It's weird, I used to be able to play fine and now the lag is so bad that the game is unplayable. I just updated my drivers.

Anyone have any clues about how we can deal with this issue with Vista or W7? SC2 is nigh unplayable when it trips, because it ALWAYS happens at an important moment (like seeing the rat bastard's proxy racks -_- )

So far today I'm 3 for 3 in having NO issues with SC2!!!!!

Here's what I did (I have Vista but this works for W7 too).

"Try adjusting your virtual memory. I am not sure about XP ones cuz i abandon XP a few months ago. If you are windows 7 or vista, it should be around there

Go to start>right click on my computer>properties>advance system settings>under advance tab>click settings for the performance area>click advance tab again and you should see your virtual memory section.

Click change. Change it to a higher value, with minimum of 1.5x of your RAM"

Taken from a guy named Jarod on the forum techsupportforum.com. I looked at it, and it had capped at exactly how much ram I have. I put it up to the suggested cap and boom, no problems.

I'm on Windows 7 64-bit also and I have the same problem, I've tried everything here and nothing has worked! I used to be able to play the game fine on my old computer, just bought a new one and now this. If anyone can help please do.

The harddrive, for me, was the main issue. I had a small one that was mostly full (less than 6gb left open) with my OS and other regularly needed programs. Swapped out the harddrive, installed Win7, did the exact thing I said in my previous post and it worked flawlessly. How much free space do you have on your harddrive, both your main one (where the OS is installed) and the one that SC2 is installed on (I use an external for all of my games), if they are different?

I have a 128Gb SSD which I have Windows7, SC2 and my other programs installed on, and a separate 1Tb HDD which I store all my music, movies etc. I have about 60Gb of free space on my SSD and about 500Gb of free space on my HDD. So I don't think the free space should be an issue in my case, should it?

No, harddrive size wouldn't be an issue. When you check your virtual memory (as outlined in my previous post) what numbers does it say your pool memory is set at?

The link below is a screenshot of my virtual memory, and as I've said I tried this and still had no sucess. I've tried setting Windows to automatically manage the virtual memory, and tried setting the minimum value to the amount of memory I have (16Gb) and that also has no effect.

You don't want to set your virtual memory to the minimum value. Nor do you want Windows to set it. You want to set it yourself. I put the initial as 2x my RAM and the max as 4x my RAM. Try doing that.

I tried doing this but didn't have any luck. I found the problem was with either my graphics card or its drivers. I swapped my gtx550Ti for a HD6850 and the problem disappeared. Thanks for your help!

Hi there, I apologize for necroing this thread but I am having this problem as well.

However,

I have a Macbook Pro with bootcamp, that is partioned- meaning I can choose to use either Mac or Windows 7. (64 bit)

I'm having this paged pool memory issue with NO other applications open. Just Starcraft 2. Could the fact that the computer is partitioned affect this?

Thanks and if anyone knows exactly how to get this fixed I am willing to pay you for your time. Just pm me and we can work something out?
