Hi, recently I have begun to get error messages when I start Battlezone 1.4. The errror messages says,
"Failed to init 3D hardware acceleration
SetDisplayMode to 640*480*16 failed
Action Not supported."
I have previously fixed this problem by reinstalling the game and it seems to work I am wondering if there is anything I can do to prevent this in the future. I do not remember having changed any settings previously prior to this error message and I know I did not change any just now when I got the error message again.
Thanks,
Bike Fanatic
Update: after reinstalling it it did not work this time but restarting the computer did.

I'm not sure what would cause that if it normally works. Every once in a while (very, very rarely) I get that kind of error, but then I start BZ again and it doesn't happen.

I believe that error is connected with graphic card drivers. They probably got updated without rebooting PC (Bike Fanatic's case), or while BZ was running (Spork's case).
