Since I don't have a working email address for you, here is from
Prabhu, author of MayaVi about your video Memory problem:

    LC> Correct, Prabhu?

Or maybe a better video card?  I really dont know too much about Win2k
to comment on the error message.  If its any help VTK uses OpenGL so
its possible that installing MayaVi using the setup.exe file is not
optimal.  However, I have not had bug reports of this kind.  The
problem could also have something to do with your color depth.  Maybe
try to use MayaVi with a 16bpp screen.  That way you might have more
video memory.  So its likely a hardware related issue or a driver
related one or a configuration one.

BTW, the MayaVi 1.2 win32 installer was built on Win2K.  So it does
work fine on the few machines that I checked.

cheers,
prabhu

p.s. I'm not sure I have Jive's correct email address, the one in my
CC is from bbdb but I have no idea if that works.
