    Hi, when I try to run Art dabbler I get the message above. My PC has 1GB memory 85% of which is free :confused: , I really only know the basics but don't see why I'm getting this message. Ran disk defrag just in case but still no go. Any advice?? Thanks, Pistachio :)

    Found this result on Amazon review. Some with similar issue, they say it might be a compatibility issue

    You could try using compatibility mode. Here is the info on how.

    Looks like an old 1999 package that XP doesn't support. Depending on what you want if for try a different package, eg: Gimpshop is similar to photoshop, but without the price tag.

    Actually that message sounds like it contains components that could date back to windows 3.1x in which you had three different 64KB buffers that all apps had to share - the 64K doesn't change no matter how much memory you have.
    If you wish to use this tablet for handwriting recognition I would recommend the use of Office XP`s built in support which I was very impressed with.

    Odie, tried what you suggested but still won't work.

    Capt'n Midnight, the software was loaded on the PC when I bought it so should be up to date but I am going to contact the company that make the PC and get them to sort it for me. I suppose I should have done that in the first place.

    Thanks for your help.
