Re: disk swap space

Hi okkawalla,

If that's the GTR racing game I'm thinking of, it's video requirements are
"3D Accelerator DirectX 8.1 compliant 32 MB AGP +". It's possible
that the game is complaining that your video card doesn't have enough
built in memory to handle the requirements of the game?
