Non-NT versions of Windows (98, Me) are limited to 2M of GDI resource
memory, no matter how much real memory you have. To handle this, I have
disabled some of the Xconq graphics on older Windows versions (no terrain
transitions, fewer images). This fixed the resource problem for all games
that I tested, but I don't recall checking Cobra or Cherbourg. Possibly,
they more strain on the graphics than other games. What exactly do you mean
by a few other games?
In any case, upgrading to an NT-based OS (NT, 2000 or XP) should solve your
problem, and also enable more of the Xconq graphics.
