Hey all,

Before you flame me, I have searched the forums, the steampowered forums, and the steampowered support area, and nothing tells me how to fix, or even describes my error.

A few days ago, I was running hammer fine, editing my map. I saved, quit, went to bed, and my computer remained on. When I woke up, I wanted to start working on my map again, but when I went to load up hammer, I was forced to wait at least 5 minutes for it while it loaded. Then, once I thought it was finished, I got this:

Hammer
"Out Of Memory"

Now, what is really odd about this, is that not only do I have 1 gig of DDR 333 MHz RAM, but if you look at this other screenshot, you see that hammer is using 3 meg of RAM

and in the third screenshot, you see that I have 700 MB of RAM available:

Now, this all just seems really weird to me, because it happened without reason ( one of steams main selling points "Random Error Generator" )

I would REALLY like to reinstall hammer, without having to redownload the entire source SDK ( 56 K ). Can anyone help at all. Either a fix for this error, or a way to reinstall hammer, or drugs to make me forget I have this error ? lol

Anyway, please help someone

Thanks muchly
