When trying to run toonstruck I get this message "ERROR: Could not configure linear access to video memory. Game will play slow. Continue?"

As stated, the game plays impossibly slowly if I continue.

Anyway to fix this?

Running windows XP pro SP1
ATI Radeon 9800 XT 256mb
Sound Blaster Audigy

Thanks

Sorry, forgot to mention I'm running this with nolfb.com and the -U parameter to disable univbe.

If I change the resolution to 320x200 it works but thats no good to play at 😀

If I change to 640x480 then most of the screen is covered in black squares 🙁

Same goes for the default res of 640x400... I get the error message saying the game will go slow but when I continue the game plays fine, I just can't see half the screen 😒

Just to clarify things: Are you speaking about running the game in DOSBOX (I mean the emulator!) or natively?
If you do not use DOSBOX, then you are in a wrong forum here (there is the forum DOS for non-DOSBOX questions).

Ok, Faceless made a new thread in DOS, so I close this one. It is rather confusing, I am still not sure what he did in DOSBOX and what natively.

This does not mean that I have anything against discussing problems in Toonstruck - if anybody is interested in it, it should be done in a new thread which should concern only running the game in DOSBOX.
