What does it mean when Graal gets the error "Canvas does not allow drawing"? My friend is trying to get on and he gets that error.

Tell him to restart his computer.
That usually fixes it for me.

when your low on recources that seems to be an issue, tell him to shut some programs

I usually get that when I'm using too many things that take up RAM.

Faheria_LAT3 · #5 06-18-2002, 07:56 AM

Okay it worked, thanks again.

I think it is cause you were mean to the canvas and now it doesnt want you to draw on it! that or your canvas apparently thinks you are trying to draw on it by playing graal, and it doesnt want you to draw on it... that silly canvas!!

:P

actually i dont have a clue what any of that really means,
although it does result when you are using too much RAM like everyone else said.

Graal has a canvas now? That's funny, I haven't noticed any before. - Kasuagi

Why isnt there anyh Direct Z or Direct Y?
huh huh huh??
The X axis is so lucky,
although slope is rise over run..
anyway i say we revolt and make a J axis or something :P

Anyway just so this post cant be considered spam...
why does Direct X make that happen?

They did a poll and people thought Direct X sounded cooler.

Personally I prefer OpenGL but that's just spam so ignore it.

your friend isnt very smart if he freaked out before he even tried to do anything.

1) Get more RAM
2) Shut down other progs
3) Make sure you don't have lots of crap set to start when your computer starts
