Can't run slic3rPE 1.4.2 beta2

I just installed slic3rpe beta 3 and it won't run on my system. When I try to run it, I get an error from my graphics-card-driver:

An Application hs requested more GPU memory than is available in the system.

My video card is an [old!] Nvidia GeForce 8400GS. Is this a bug or does slic3r now require more GPU horsepower than I have? Is there somehting I can tweak in the slic3r install directory to fix this?

Not sure if this is your issue - but worth investigating.

Windows specific: A new --sw-renderer command line switch has been added to instruct Slic3r to load the MESA software renderer instead of a possibly buggy default OpenGL driver. In addition, the MESA software renderer is loaded by default if Slic3r is started over a Remote Desktop session #2068.
