"could not create DIRECT3D9 texture"

[speewave]

I was just goofing around with the examples and i was going to replace an image with a higher resolution one (20-- by 17--) at 2MB. and i get the message in Console = Could Not Create DIRECT3D9 (or Texture!

Here's my System Info.

1.7GHz Pentium 4
ATI Radeon 9200 (128VRAM)
DirectX 9.0c Installed
DirectX 8.1 SDK (ATI Card is 8.1)

Note: I tried changing the stones.jpg image for higher-res water *SpecialFX*

my guess is that the texture has to be a power of two, since that's a pretty common requirement for textures; since 20 is not a power of two, and 17 is not a power of two, the texture creation fails
