IIRC that is a Direct Draw error.

Okay let's try some standard things.
1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
4) Update your Windows, update your Video card drivers and audio card drivers. Then repeat steps 1-3.

Especially everything in #3.

If none of that works, and it might not because the game may now be corrupted.

Please run a DirectX Diagnostic:
Start menu –Run - then type Dxdiag, then select each tab across the top of the window, and run the tests on each tab. Then select “Save All Information” button in the lower right of the window. This will bring up a dialog box to allow you to select a name for the file where the information will be saved. You can save it right on the desktop as this will make it easy to find. Then copy the contents of that file from the start to the heading that says “DirectX components” then paste what you have copied into a post in this thread.
 
The answer is that it depends on your Graphics card it's driver and your monitor.
Try it in the other resolution.
 
Please consult the second half of post #2.
 
Sorry for the inconvience, but it really is the best way for me to get a snapshot of your system.
 
Okay, keep me updated pls.
 
@ erhpdm
You need to start your own thread please.
 
Sounds like you may have some bad memory.
 
If you take them to a reputable dealer they shouyld be able to test them for you, but it might be better if you take your whole system in.

Although memory is pretty cheap these days, so if you wanted to say get 256 and try that by itself, then if you found it was not the memory, the extra you bought is still going to benefit you.
