0.90 crashing on startup

[CrazyJebGuy]

Game crashes on start up, opened taskmanager and my PC was in no shortage of RAM or CPU omph when it crashed. (Though my CPU is a Core 2 Duo!)

My system is very stable.

 

I'm running Windows 7 32bit Ultimate. Could it have anything to do with it being a pirated copy? (I have a legit steam copy, but it won't let me play 0.90, and I hate 1.0 and later.)

 

Edit: When crashing, KSP uses 1.7 GBs. (ONly measured once)

the limit for 32bit programs is 3.2GB right? It's certainly that for OSes.

No, the address space limit for a process on 32 bit windows is only 2GB (there is a windows boot time option that can increase this to 3GB though this could cause other issues).  This is almost certainly why it crashed.  Try reducing the texture resolution (or using one of the other memory saving tips).
