	Unable to allocate Draw Buffer Terminating Program Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Whenever I try to play the game, it will end up saying "Unable to Allocate..." then quits. Of course, I don't know what to do, so any help would be appreciated.

My system Specs are:
Win98
AMD K6-2 350MHz w/ 384MB RAM
3d Prophet 4000XT (I'd say this is the problem)
My sound card doesn't work, so N/A
I have updates for AC, my video card, and directX9

uhm...i remember seeing this once before. i believe a restart was all it took, but if not, setting "Forceoldvoxelalgorithm=1" in the alphacentauri.ini file is all i can think of

Nah, I just tried that (both of them), but it didn't work.

I ran IP.exe, and it says that my video card isn't compatible with DirectX. Mind you, I have known that for a while, and don't think it matters.

I remember this happening but unfortunately I don't remember why. It was not a permanent problem like yours however. Are you trying SMAC or SMAX?

If you go to Google Groups and search on the error message

Unable to allocate Draw Buffer Terminating Program

you get several hits that may be relevant. Some users were getting this error message in Civ III, so the suggestions that helped them may work for you.

Ok, I figured out what I have to do.
I have to install it manually.
So, who knows how to do this?
