A friend of mine bought a PC 2 days ago that had been built for her.
She has tried to load a chess program (the only program she has tried
to load) onto it. She is getting a critical error message - 'not
enough memory in load sprite 2 Last Windows Error=8'.

The PC is a Pentium2 - 300 using Windows98. Could anyone point us in
the right direction as to whether this is likely to be a fault with
the program or a faulty installation by the builder.

Sorry if this is not the right forum but I got this newsgroup address
via Microsoft - still you look to have some interesting stuff on here.

Thanks

How much ram and virtual memory is she set up to have?

That's not a Windows error, it's an error message from the chess program.
She should contact them for technical assistance.

If the game you are talking about is Combat Chess, that actually an error that occurs when you set pre-load animations, this causes an error that requires the entire program to be reinstalled clean. Its nothing memory related.
