Error on starting game

[AndersM]

Back in the days I was a proud member of this forum, and this morning I found a old backup copy and re-installed the whole sh...

Now to my problem: I opened the game with the Editor and re-saved it to get a 'fresh' .exe, but when I try to run the game i get the following mesage:

An error has occured. Please contact the game author for support,
as this problem is caused by the game rather than the interpeter.
(ACI version 2.50.395)
Error: load_room: not enough memory to decompress masks.

Contacting the author will only result in me talking to my self,
and that is - as we all know - a sign of madness.

Anyone got any idea?

Best regards /Anders

Which version of AGS were you using when you made that game?

From the error message, the version of AGS you now use to open the game is V2.50. Are you sure this is the version you used when making that game?

Also, can you post the specs of your system? As clearly you got an out of memory error.

The version I use now ist the same as I used then - as it's
allso from my backup:  V 2.5b

But then I used - as I recall - Windows ME 

Now I use XP pro, and I'm not sure what spesifications - or where to find them - you want?

AGS 2.5 is such an old version that we can't really offer any support for it any more.

This sounds like a bug in AGS, but it has probably been fixed in more recent versions.

I downloaded the latest version, and uppdated the game.
Had some minor errors that I'll try to solve by myself first,
but be prepared for upcomming questions...
