All applications have different hardware acceleration requirements, depending on the task they are meant to perform. Due to improper hardware acceleration setting different problem may occur.

3. Select the Settings tab and click on the advanced button. The Advanced Settings dialog box appears.

Thus your graphics can be increased by a nice amount.
Now you can have software that challenges a 128-256 MB of graphics card requirements with a very modest 1GB DDR2 RAM.
The savior is 3D-Analyzer
What it does is, it uses a part of your RAM as Graphics card memory. For example, if you got 1GB DDR2 RAM, then it’ll use 128MB of it as a Virtual Graphics card, and the remaining 896MB will be used as a regular RAM.
Cool right….so you can Virtually emulate NVIDIA GeForce TI 4600, NVIDIA GeForce FX 4900 ULTRA,ATi Radeon 8500,ATi Radeon 9800 PRO.Follow the given procedure:
First thing you have to do is to download the software and install it,
Now you have window like this
Next, click on ‘Select’ option.
FarCry.exe
In the next step, select the options as shown. Note that i have selected the VendorID as 4098 and DeviceID 20400 as i want to select the ATi Radeon 9800 PRO graphics card(use the index provided in the screen on the right). Click Run. Doesn’t matter even if you don’t save the batch file. Your ready to roll! Please note that the .exe file is to be selected from the main folder, and not the shortcut present on the desktop.
I got Oblivion 4 and Neverwinter Nights 2 to work using this. For running Oblivion however, you need to install a patch called Oblivion.
For Neverwinter Nights 2, you need to tweak the stuff a bit.
Go to Start->Run->regedit.Then press F3 and search for hardware information memory size. Click on the file, and modify the binary values to 00 00 00 08.This fools the system into believing that you have 128MB video RAM. Then select only the ‘emulate hw tnl caps’ option. Do not select any other. Select ATi Radeon 9800.Click on Run.
