Out of Video Memory Error

yabanci · 12-09-2003, 10:09 AM

I tried to load this up on my notebook computer. It installs fine but when I run the program (after I select trial and accept the license) I get a dialog box titled "CreateSurface: Backbuffer" that says "OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY" in the dialog box. When I click out of that box it gives another titled "InitApp" that says "Error InitDirectDraw," then another box that says "Could not initialize application!"

The computer is a:
Compaq Presario 800xl
Windows XP Home
800 Pentium II
256 mb ram
ATI Rage Mobility 4mb
10gb free HD space
DirectX 9b
1024x768x32bit

Am I going to be able to get this to run? It's not the most powerful computer, but it runs everything else (including OOTP5). I hope I can get it to run.

Okay, I just came across this thread and was able to solve the problem. If you get the this error, you have to go to the config.ini file in the title bout directory and change the option "Uses D3D=Yes" to "Uses D3D=No" Thanks to the person who gave the answer.
