    Ruff's Bone needs VGA 640x480

    I bought a talking book CD at a fair for my grandson and it ran ok on a very old PC that was running win98. I replaced the PC with with a pentium 4 running win98 and it said it needs VGA 640x480 to run.

    I changed my screen resolution and it still failed to run (gave same message).
    I have an NVIDIA display card (which works well) which I suspect is the reason for the game not running.

    Any suggestions?

    What was the message it gave you? I doubt it's the video card that's causing the problem. Did you try changing the settings in the game's options?

    The message is "Living Books requires 640 x 480 256 color display driver."

    Thanks for the reference to Living Books FAQ site. Perhaps it is the 256 color. I will try that.
