I run into that error at times (I have 4 instances on each computer) - lets say I am running the 4 fine and for somereason one of them dumps to the desktop, when I try and start the 4th again, I get the error.
What I think is occuring is that as you zone or see more characters in the game the video gets fuller and if you hard exit without freeing up the video card ram it dosnt allow writing over it so it looks full. This is just complete guess work though. Also if I were to log in 3 and play them for like 10 minutes the video card ram would be full and if I try and start the 4th it would not allow it. But if I shut down all 3 and then load all 4 it will work fine again.
I hate playing in to much of reduced mode but I think if you were to go to a 64 bit operating system and get like 4 gig or 8 gig ram, and as much video ram as you could on the card you will have no problems running 6. I am running 4 with no problem at all on a simple ahtlon 64 system.
Ya just read the above post, I also load all to the character select screen before going in game with any of them. ...
