I freed up all the memory I can (chkdsk shows 630+k free conventional memory now) but it still crashs. I guess it's a video card issue then? I'm using a Rage...

Hege, I may be a late-comer to this discussion, but my opinion is the ATI vid card is the problem. I had a pair (ATI Xpert 98 and a Rage Fury MAXX) and DL...

Hi and thanks for your reply! I also suspected the video card ever since I noticed it's an ATI. I'll try a PCI Matrox one this weekend, hopefully it'll work...
Just as a note, I have a ATI Radeon 7500, my previous computer had an ATI ALL-IN-WONDER PRO, both worked just fine... Even got Darklands to work right away...
Actually, I too was about to chime in with my own pleasantly uneventful experiences with DL in close proximity to ATI hardware: ...I have used the original 4MB...
