Can someone give a newbie some advice? I bought a video game that runs bad on my machine. It runs better on a friends machine if you bump the resolution to 800X600. I tried this and I get the error message "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error abnormal program termination." The game stops and goes back to the desktop. I suspect my machine ain't up to the task, but I've run more complex games with no problems. P166mmx, 96Megs ram, 2meg video card. Sorry if I posted in the wrong section, I'm just curious what that particular error message means.

Thanks
