installed memory, still have a problem

I have windows xp, After downloading a game, that I got in wal-mart, it say (
need to change display
setting to 600x800 and 16 bit) out of memory, so I
added
more memory. It's saying the same thing. Can someone help me out? This is
the first time it has happened.

If you have a built in video card, then check your BIOS as you may be able
to increase the amount of memory your PC has allocated for video by changing
the BIOS video setting.

Can you post the exact, complete error message here?
Which "memory" did you add? RAM? Video? Drive? increased PageFile?
etc..

Memory resources can be a few different things; not just RAM itself.

Give as many details about what/how you do things and the specific
results of each one.

The error message reads: You cannot run this application at your current
screen resolution or bit( out of memory), change ;your setting and run again.

I don't understand which memory I used.
I added 512 Mb DDR(3200).
I don't know anything about Video ,sorry.
I used drive D: and it is saying free space: 0 btye),
(total size:286mb)
I changed virtual memory to system managed

Total Pagefile size : Minimum allowed= 2mb
recommended=1126mb, current allocated 1127mb

Change your Display Properties Colour quality settings to 16-bit. Right
click on an empty space on the desktop and select Properties and click
on the Settings tab and you will see the Color settings.

What do you mean by "I used drive D:"? For what? Is it your CD/DVD drive?

OK, and to repeat - what did you mean by "I used drive D: and it is
saying..."? Did you just mean that you installed the game from your CD
drive? (Being a CD drive is why it showed as zero free space, but I don't
understand why you cited those figures.)

Anyway, you've bought/downloaded a game and it won't - what, play or
install? Do your PC and its graphic card (aka video card) meet the system
requirements given on the game's packaging? If you don't know how to
determine your system's video card specifications, post back.

How far is the game getting? If it's starting at all and you can get into
its Options, try changing the video settings. If you could actually name the
game, that might help. Try searching the game's maker's website for a forum,
FAQ, etc - others might be having/have had the same problem.

Yes I installed this game , The game is Diner Dash Hometown Hero.When I open
the games, it won't play, the screen just turns black and then the message
would pop up
:You cannot run this application at your current screen resolution or bit(
out of memory), change ;your setting and run again.

Would you please help me how to find my system's video card and graphic card
requirements ?

Minimize all windows and right-click on a blank area of your desktop screen
(ie not an icon that's there).

In the menu that drops down, left click on Properties and you should get a
screen up headed Display Properties.

Click on the "Settings" tab along the top.

Here is where you can adjust your system's "Screen resolution" (slider) and
"Color quality" (drop-down menu), should you need to do that for this game.

Click on the "Advanced" button at the bottom-right, then the "Adapter" tab
along the top. Here it tells you your "Adapter type" (ie model of your video
card) and the amount of memory it has is lower down, under "Memory size".

These are the *specifications* of your video card (which is also known as a
graphics card or adapter). Compare these with the *requirements* as
appearing on the packaging and/or CD case of your game.
