In options, preferencies, try different settings for overlay or force rgb.
What video card do you have ?

Make sure you don't have opened any other overlay surface already first

Because exactly this msg you then then. Number of overlays are not infinite. For most cards are as low, as 1 :roll:

If you don't have anything opened, try to select diferent mode - mode1 or mode2. If all fails, use force RGB
