This bug applies to the game Cyber Chess by Cosmi, both the retail CD-ROM and
downloadable trial.

The trial can be downloaded from
https://www.cosmi.com/login.aspx?Next=Download&Matnr=CDRS831 (registration
required) or e.g.
http://www.zdnetasia.com/downloads/windows/cyber-chess_sw-39349263.htm (no
registration required). It's about 80MB.

Just before starting a game (after the FMV sequence), there is a dialog box
which says "Sorry, not enough memory to proceed. Quitting".

The Cosmi web site
http://www.cosmi.com/cgi-script/csFAQ/csFAQ.pl?command=viewFAQ&database=Cyber%20Chess.db
points to an article on the Microsoft web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894472 "Third-party programs that require lots
of memory do not run in Windows XP Service Pack 2".

The MS article says: "This hotfix includes a new Xpsp2res.dll file that
dynamically finds a memory location to reduce virtual memory fragmentation.
Before you apply this hotfix, we recommend that you ask the vendor of your
programs to verify that this solution is acceptable. This hotfix enables the
new Xpsp2res.dll file to find a memory location dynamically and reduce virtual
memory fragmentation."

With Windows Vista, the out of memory dialog also appears. However, the game
runs okay under Vista in XP SP2 compatibility mode. The out of memory dialog
appears when running the game under Wine in XP mode.
