Help....lost the ability to pre cache textures

[Donzo]

Before the latest patch all of the textures would load when I launched the game (as seen by the progress bar showing each texture being loaded).  Since this last patch I do not get that...the game load some objects quickly then launches.

I read in another thread that the options for pre caching the textures was set to unckecked with this last patch.  
When I goto into the video options to check them, they are grayed out.  
What do I need to do to enable those checkboxes?

The algorithm used to calculate the amount of memory the computer needs to cache the textures was upgraded to reflect the latest release.

If your computer has 512MB of RAM, or less, you will not be able to check the preload options any longer.  Even if you could, you would simply be swapping to/from the hard drive more.

ahhhh...thanks for the reply Skuzzy.

Looks like it's time to order some more ram
