I can run 8.2.238 on my (by 2009 standards) low end machine, but 9.5.30 won't even start.

I kind of doubt? that it's the graphics drivers, because even running the text mode “hserver.exe” command gives the windows “send error report” dialog.

- Win XP - sp2

- AMD athlon 1g, 512meg

Does ver 9.xx *really* require 1gig memory?

Or is there something else .. o.s. .. graphics card ?

Doesn't really matter that much … there's more than enough for me to try to learn in version 8x … and not planning on upgrading hardware any time soon.
