: : I'm trying to run Simpsons and I get the above error message. I'm running (trying to run) it on a Pentium 120mhz with 32 mb ram and a 4mb video card that doesn't support directx. Is the problem that I just don't have a fast or good enough computer or is it my video card? I'm asking because Simpsons works on a friends computer that is a Pentium 166 MMX with 64mb ram and a 8mb diamond stealth 3d 2000 video card that does support directx. So is it just that I've got a junk computer with not enough ram or is it my video card or what? I'm asking because I can run all the other games on mine and this is the first time I've gotten this error message. Please Help!! :)

:I have noticed it is a forum for the discussion of building genuine arcade controls for use with pc's and I have used it many times for just that when I was building my control panel. I'm sorry that I asked a question that didn't belong on this board, (Sorry Saint! :) ) I just got carried away. Just ignore this post then.
Sorry!
GAME ON!!! Brian
