ATI XClaim Video Player: "Out of Offscreen Memory" Message

I have a Power Computing computer with the ATI XClaim Video Player installed. When I set my monitor resolution to 832 x 624 at millions of colors, I get the following message: "Out of Offscreen Memory." What's going on?
This is expected behavior that has a fairly simple workaround. The is a VRAM issue, which means if your machine does not have enough VRAM, you must lower the resolution and color levels. A resolution of 640 x 480 at 256 colors should prevent the out of memory message from appearing.
