Hello everyone. I tried using the search function but for some reason it is not working. I get the following error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1048576 bytes) in /home/tsf/public_html/search.php on line 1011

----

Anyway, my problem is that I get the following error in multiple different games, for example counter-strike, doom3 and neverwinter nights1. The games do not even start or go to loading screen, they simply crash after few seconds of trying to run.

Here is the error:

The instruction at "0x5ed2aed8" referenced memory at "0x00000564". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program.

Here is an example of the error signature:

AppName: nwnmain.exe AppVer: 1.6.4.0 ModName: atioglxx.dll
ModVer: 6.14.10.8577 Offset: 0051ffd0

The errors are very similar in all games, all saying the "memory could not be read" and stating "atioglxx.dll" as ModName. Atioglxx apparently is some ATI's Open GL driver. There are many games that still work, Civization IV including all expansions, Oblivion, GTA San Andreas and Neverwinter Nights 2 all work without trouble. I can't think of anything that would link the games that won't run and those that do. Some older games won't work, yet some do and same thing with newer ones. I did some google research on the subject, but all I was able to find was suggestions to update gfx drivers - I've done that, multiple times and many different versions but they all give the same result. Some other topics suggested a memory check, but how would that affect open gl?

My computer specs:

processor: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
motherboard: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
memory: 512mb pc3200 ddr
gfx card: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD3650

No overclocking done to any parts. I know my total memory is quite low, but I doubt that would cause trouble with games like Counter-Strike, which is years and years old. Graphics card only accepts Sapphire's own drivers, so I can't use ati's catalyst ones. (Or at least I haven't been able to install catalyst drivers)

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
