Failed to grab 1 GB of contiguous memory!
If you're using Kaspersky, you've probably seen the above message. Even if you disable protection and turn Kaspersky off you will still see that message. Unless you completely uninstall Kaspersky the problem remains. I searched around the net this afternoon and could find no more information other than 'you have to completely uninstall Kaspersky'.
Instead I tinkered around until I found my own solution:
(You will be disabling your internet security, so you may want to turn off your router or completely disconnect from the internet before you do this up until you turn Kaspersky back on.)
Note- I'm using Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0. Your version may have differences, but hopefully the below will be usefull for all versions.
1. Go to the taskbar and double click on the Kaspersky Icon to bring up the Kaspersky Window.
2. Click on 'Settings', then click on 'Service'. In the right hand pane under 'Self-Defense', uncheck 'Enable Self-Defense' and click 'Apply'.
3. Exit the Kaspersky Window. Return to the taskbar and right-click on the Kaspersky Icon. Select 'Exit'. (This should stop AVP.EXE from running on the PC)
4. Go to your 'Program Files' folder on whatever drive you keep it on. Double click on 'Kaspersky Labs'. There should be a folder called 'Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0' which has avp.exe and the other files inside it. Right-click on the folder and select 'Rename'. Add another character to the name such as an 'x' so that the file name reads 'xKaspersky Internet Security 7.0' (If you get an 'Access is Denied' message then avp.exe might still be running, or you may need to double check that the enable self-defense is unchecked)
This should solve the problem. Whatever the process is which messes with the memory, it gets disrupted by changing the pathway to the program files. When you are finished with your Dolphin session, remove the X (or whatever character you used) from the folder name, then manually start up Kaspersky and go back into settings and re-check 'Enable Self-Defense'.
Hope this helps, and feel free to copy that into the FAQ or stick or whatever most helps people with this problem.
