Trying to run carnivores3:Ice Age on a Win2000 system with 128meg ram, 1.4ghz Intel chip, (1) 12gig hd. I get this error: Heap Allocation Error.
Happens as soon as I click the icon to run the game. Same error on Carnivores2 BUT only after I hit the "Hunt" button from the main menu. Guessing, I'd say it has something to do with video but I am bot sure. the vid card is a TNT2 Riva 16meg card. (Macine type is a Dell Optiplex GX400)
I know we have a few Tech/game guys out there...HELP!!

Eric, try the latest Detonator drivers (reference drivers).
After many problems like this, I had to go ahead and upgrade to the g-Force 2 MX400 64MB card (buy a name brand!!!) for $150, check the HCL (hardware compatability list) at [url]www.microsoft.com[/url].
This could also be a sound card issue, as mine still has some problems. I will bite the bullet in the next months and buy the SoundBlaster Live!X-Gamer for $100.
900MhZ Athlon T-Bird, 256MB DDR Ram, 2x 13.5 GB HDDs, CD-ROM burner, 52x CD-ROM, WinME (got tired of Win2KPro being a beta OS)

To clarify my sound card posit, some of the games I play load drivers for EAS, that are not compatable with my card- older card IS on the HCL, but new drivers not avail.
