Evil Genius Crashes unexpectedly

[TheFireTruck]

Hey there!
I've been playing Evil Genius on steam and for the most part it works fine, but frequently (sometimes more frequently than others) it crashes at very inopportune times. The wine page for the game talks about unexpected crashes, but it sounds like these are related to the game autosaving, and I turned off my autosaving yet this persists. Here's what my terminal (The first bit repeated for a much longer time, but I figured you'd get the point) reads:

To my amateur eye, it looks graphics related, so if you're interested, my computer has a nVidia GeForce Go 7800 256MB card. But, of course, I am just that, an amateur, so if anyone would help me out with this, I would really appreciate it!

Up?

The key line in that log might be

err:d3d:resource_init Out of adapter memory

The game supposedly only requires 16 MB of video ram,

but your card (nVidia GeForce Go 7800 256MB)
should have, y'know, 256MB. So I dunno.

Is there some test I can run to check how much memory is allocated to Evil Genius (or is video memory not really "allocated"?) or is there some possible bottleneck that could be happening?
