I seem to be crashing to desktop every time a new map loads. I can Load into a Server fine for the first time I start it up but then when it rotates to the next map or I try to join another Server to load Another map I get the CTD and this Error.

I have searched through the forum and found people having the same Error but the fixes posted did not help

Try bumping your virtual ram up.
1.5 x real ram is a good start.
Min and max set the same.( Doing so will reduce fragmentation of the page file)
You have 2 gigs = 2048
2048 x 1.5 = 3072
If you have more than one HD put the page file(virtual ram) on a different drive than your system.
Ideally formatting a 2nd drive with the first partition (4-6 gigs)setup for ONLY your page file/virtual ram and the rest/others for data works well.
The reason for this is the drive is partitioned from the outside in. The outside of the disk spins faster, therefore preforms better.
Good luck

Just Google "how I could bump up my virtual ram ?"
You will find this:
1.Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2.Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
3.On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
4.Under Virtual memory, click Change.
5.Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file that you want to change. In most computers its C:
6.Under Paging file size for selected drive, click to Custom size check box. You can enter the amount of memory you would like to reserve for Virtual memory by entering the initial and maximum size.
7.Click Set
8. Reboot
