SYMPTOMS
When you start Microsoft Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far, you may receive the following error message:

Cannot create any more DC's.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur for one of the following reasons:


 * You are using an STB Lightspeed display driver with Vision 95 (STB's graphics manager).
 * You are using a Hercules Dynamite 128 display driver.



RESOLUTION
You may be able to resolve this issue by reducing the graphics hardware acceleration. To do so, use the following steps:


 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click System.
 * 3) On the Performance tab, click Graphics.
 * 4) Move the Hardware Acceleration slider until it is one notch to the right of None (the Basic acceleration setting).
 * 5) Click OK, and then click Close.
 * 6) When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.

NOTE: If you receive a "fatal exception" error message when you restart the computer, or if the computer restarts to a black screen, restart to Safe mode, and then repeat these steps to move the Hardware Acceleration slider all the way to the right (the Full acceleration setting).
