I can load BZ2, but it will crash every single time after around 10-15 seconds in the menu screen, always with an error as follows:

I've searched around and can't find anything similar to this specific error anywhere (either here or elsewhere online). What really confuses me is the type of error - out of memory. I have an ATI HD 4850 with 512mb of video ram, so something obviously isn't right. The above is with all default settings, 640x480 etc. I can't ever actually get into game because it crashes before I can navigate the menus.
Here's what I've already tried:
- Doing a clean install/patch
- Updated my video card drivers
- Updated my installs of DirectX and Visual C runtimes
- Running BZ2 on one core only with RunFirst
- Running BZ2 in compatibility mode for win2k, winXP and I even tried win95.
What gets me the most is that I remember running BZ2 (tech alpha 5) on this machine in the past (I haven't made any hardware changes since). I have tried reverting to tech alpha 5, but that produces the same error as above. I'm out of ideas at this point
I can see that my available process memory is much, much lower than in the crash logs everyone else is posting - 79mb out of 2048mb total. I have no idea why BZ2 is eating up so much memory on my system, especially in the menu.
Thanks in advance!
