"Requested screen mode could not be set"

I finally got Thief 1 to run on my computer... kinda. I've set the screen resolution at 800x600 in both the cam.cfg and ddfix.ini documents just as the DDFix ReadMe 1.3.11 file instructeed (It's supposed to be DDFix version 1.5.11, according to the ZIP folder). I've confirmed that in the Video options in the game itself, the resolution is 800x600x8. Everything works fine in the game, except I get this annoying message at the top of the screen that reads, "Requested screen mode could not be set".

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this?

Oh yeah, if it matters, my screen resolution for the computer in general is 1280x1024. If I switch it to 800x600, it makes it so the game only loads to the start screen and the cursor just shakes violently. I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del at that point.

Update: Actually, there IS another problem. Turns out I can't play for longer than a few minutes without the game freezing. I can Ctrl+Alt+Del out and then return for a few more minutes of gameplay, but it always freezes again! :mad:
