Video Device Problem

[Django1978]

Hey All,
I have recently installed a game on my cmputer, everything went good until I tried to start up the game and got the message

Cannot Open Video Device -try W3D command line


Any suggestions.

Thanks

Welcome aboard

You need to post Windows version, game title, and EXACT error message, to start with.

ok..

I have windows xp, the game is Chapionship Horse Trainer (egames) and that is the exact error message (the title bar says E1242)

Thanks

I went to eGames web site, but there is no Championship Horse Trainer game listed.
On the game box, is there any contact/support listed?

[Django1978]

Thanks for you help so far...

There is no contact info other than an address on the box.

Do you think this is a problem with the game or my computer?

Thanks again

Do you think this is a problem with the game or my computer?

I did some additional search, and it may be on your side.
What are the game requirements?
How much RAM do you have?

[Django1978]

How do I know how much ram I have?

The game requirements are:

Pentium 1Ghz processor
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
256 MB RAM
