    This is one where you want to contact ati by email.It's an ati gfx card problem which could be related to hardware or software.Looks like the .dll file is missing or corrupt.

    lol, sorry have to laugh...allocate some more space! Reccommend is 765, so set it to 800 or so. You'll need to set the max space since you are using custom settings. You have more than enough space.

    OR set it to "System managed size". It definiatly need to be higher than 159 MB.

    Initial size should be about 200-300. Set max to about 850 but, only allocate 800. This will give room in case the need for more is necessary.

    Virtual memory is from your hard drive used as RAM.
    Here's the full definition(incase you want it):http://www.answers.com/virtual+memory&r=67

    Also, if you are not playing online, diable your internet and close any anitvirus/antispyware programs or firewalls. If and when you play online close the "anit-programs" but, keep the firewall enabled.
