No other way around this probs, unless your v-card settings allow you to 'use external ram'.

Ahh man that sucks because you need more video ram which means you need a new graphic card. See some games will check to make sure you have enough to play. You can try lowering the settings. But I dont see any other way play other then buying a video card. Also check the site for the game some
videogames companys post a FAQ about issues or let you ask them a question. Which they can tell you exactly why it want work.

You need to turn off ANY and ALL options that you can live without in the video game. Change the dispay settings to the lowest resolution the game will except and you MIGHT be able to play a limited game. Best advice on here though is get a new video card. Second Best advice on here is check those System Requirements! good luck :-)

If you bothered to check the game requirements printed on the box of the game and compare it to your system specs you might have relised you needed more RAM and possibly a better video card. There is NO cheap solution. The botton line is the game won't run unless your PC passes at the very least the minimum requirements.

Well, first. Is the video onboard your computer mainboard?
You could go into CMOS Setup (del key, usually) upon start-up, and allocate more memory for Video memory! Onboard video uses 2,4,8,16.32, or 64 Mb of shared RAM in many of the boards with onboard video.
You want to leave at least 128 Mb for the system, AFTER you have subtracted the video allocation. I run one Gigabyte of RAM on my mainline game systems...

i had the same problem when i 1st bougt battelfield 2. Their is good news and bad news. The good news is that it is easily fixed. The bad news is you need a better video card that will run you about $65. I suggest Nvidia.

There's no other way that I know of, besides not playing the game.
