I have been in communication with Simon and Schuster on problems with Dominion Wars, in that it will exit into windows after it is finished loading a mission or skirmish game. Every time. I am using a Celeron 500mhz based system with 3.5 mb of on-board AGP graphics, and my hard disk was recently reformatted and all of my data was lost, and before that, Dominion Wars loaded successfully, and I could play great looking battles in it. So far, the people at S&S haven't been very useful. I thought that some of the computer saavy people here on the boards could help.

You mean that your graphics card has 3.5mb on on-board memory? Are you sure? That's a really low amount. Even two year old cards had at least 8mb, and more often 16mb.

If I'm right, on board AGP cards often use the main system memory as graphics memory. Can't you add to that by changing the apecture size, or something?

In response to Reks' question, I think I do; 96mb; yes; Windows ME, and yes;
