Hi there,

Try to:
- reduce the size of your screen resolution
- use 8-bit Tim's or 4-bit Tim's
- store images in main ram and transfer to vram

Companies tend to load off the CD and dump images directly
to VRAM.  But since you can't use the CD then your out of
luck....unless you want to use the textures from the boot cd!
