You can disable services and start-up programs in MSConfig.

1006 is indeed a memory allocation error but it is client side not server side.

On PC

Update to the latest graphics card drivers from nVidia, AMD or Intel

On PC or Mac

Restart SimCity

Reduce your graphical settings to minimum and see if you can load into a city, then increase individual graphical settings one by one. If changing one setting (especially lighting) causes a memory allocation error then reduce that setting again and these will be your optimal settings.

    No es correcta la solución propuesta. Favor abrir ticket y seguir analizando el problema porque sus clientes, me incluyo, necesitamos jugar sin tener conexión y sin tener el fallo 1006.
