Allocation file generally means that something is not staying resident in memory or has no place to be put.  In a nut shell, if you do not have enough memory this could result though more than likely it is one of two of the following.  Check your Swap file settings.  This is your virtual memory and should be set at the minimum amount of your exsisting RAM and a maximum of double the amount of your existing RAM.  Though a game computer can be set with 2048mb for both as this will keep a constant size and eliminate a delay in resizing the swap file.
A stuck key on the keyboard or another application running can also case this fault.  Don't laugh, a stuck key is really not uncommon.  A USB device that was initially ported to a specific plug in that was moved to another USB plug in is a prime suspect.  For instance, do you have a USB mouse or keyboard?  are they still plugged in to the same ports or have they been moved?

The big question here is, what did you change in your settings or configuration that started this? A new graphics driver? Memory chip?

I was playing just fine then it started to bog down so I cleard my cash, and temp files then went to play then that msg.

did you loose a stick of memory? sometimes one stick will puke out and leave you with just whats left over. check your systems and see if all of your memory is working.

[THEKATZ*{MEOW}*]

Well, I didnt want to go there with the memory thing as usually that is not the case.  Not unheard of though as Fast states.
If there are any deleted items still in your trash, put them back and see if there was something there that should not have been removed.  I am leaning toward the idea that what ever is trying to be allocated is not finding a place to be put.  Allocation files need help, they are like lost children and need to be pointed to and given directions.  If you discarded something that actually tells it where to go, that is your problem right there.  In the same fashion, if there is no room where it is told to go such as a bad memory stick, same thing, it is confused and General Protection fault occurs.  This goes with my other statements above.  USB devices that normally know where to install them self gets switched, this has been known to do the same fault.

It is working now and I did nothing....
