Hi there, I'm new to the forum and I was wondering if someone could shine some light into this problem. I tried doing a search but I didn't find anything, if I missed something and anyone has a link, please post it, I will gladly do some reading.

I recently upgraded from a 512 MB ram to a 2 GB ram which is the max my motherboard can handle.
Before I upgraded to the 2 Gig ram I tried to run orbiter with Seth's level 10 earth textures installed just to see if I could get them to work even though it says on the website that you need at least 1 Gig of ram for everything to run smoothly. So I launched orbiter with my old 512 MB ram and indeed it did not work. Orbiter never started up and I got an error message saying (orbiter.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience) I thought it was because of the ram so I didn't mind.
Now that I got the larger ram I decided to run orbiter with the level 10 textures again thinking I would have no problems. So I installed the files into a clean orbiter folder (2006 version patch 1, and no addons, not even orbiter sound) and I ran the DG-S ready for take off scenario in the delta glider folder. Well, to my surprise, orbiter didn't start up and I got the exact same message as before saying orbiter had encountered problems and needed to close.
I took a look at the orbiter log and I found this everywhere. (ERROR: DDraw error DDERR_OUTOFMEMORY) I tried launching orbiter with other scenarios and I got the same results.
What does it mean by out of memory? I just installed the 2 Gig ram so I don't think that's it. Does it mean the memory in the video card?
I only have a basic knowledge of computers so I'm not really sure what's going on. Thanks in advance for any help you may give me.

Computer specs:
Windows XP
Athlon processor 2.2Ghz
2 GB ram
64 MB graphics card

Here is the log from the DG-S ready for take off scenario:

About those errors for the missing textures. The textures aren't missing, I checked the textures folder and they're all there.
 
ERROR: DDraw error DDERR_OUTOFMEMORY

Sounds like your machine doesn't have sufficent RAM to decompress and display the textures.
 
It could also be that your video card (64 MB) doesn't have enough video RAM to run the L10 textures.
