not necessarily.... if he had just installed Direct X 8. All Direct X software uses alot of memory, especially if your video card is weak. Being that we don't know exactly what his video card is, we can't figure out if it's adequate. After rebooting windows and having the DX software install itself and eat up whatever was left of his 64MEG, there is no memory left for the system let alone Wolfenstein. I have checked and Wolfensteing uses around 220MEGS of RAM without touching the swapfile, you need at least that for the game to run good. Not including the memory the
system needs.

Hey MErc: When you close windows (programs) does the screen redraw itself in chunks?
