How do I do that?

Well, you should have some idea of what kind of hardware is in your machine. Basically just need

Processor Brand and Speed
Amount of RAM (Memory)
Video Card (brand, model and amount of memory)
Type of Internet connection (DSL, dial up)

I have a feeling it's your video card though. The way you described the problem, it seems the card can't handle the graphics load. Have you tried playing the game with all the lowest settings?

Go to the Control Panel. In the Control Panel you'll see an icon called 'system'. Double click on that.

A window will open up and you'll see some information there. Look at the bottom section where it says 'Computer:' and write down the info under that. That's your processor and RAM

Next, go to the tab at the top that says 'Hardware'. Under that tab, you will see a button called 'Device Manager'. Click on that and a new window will open.

Look for the listing called "Display Adapter" and click the + next to it. Write down anything that appears under that.

Let me know about these items and I'll see if I can help.

ouch. It's the video card. The processor isn't great either, but it should run the game. I don't think the card will.

You can try changing the settings and bumping everything to the lowest possible values. The game MAY run on that. But I'm not sure.

Your best bet would be to upgrade the video card.

i did but it said it couldnt find something i dont remember and it didnt update...i think i will get that Gforce 1 how would that be?
#12 May 12 2004 at 5:16 PM Rating: Excellent
uh...no.
I'm not an expert with ATI cards....so I can't say how your 7000 compares to a better card. But a GeForce 1 is definitely a bad idea.

My laptop has a GeForce 2 card with 32MB and I can run the game on the low settings. Please check to see if you can do that. It may not be as bad as you think.

If you want to upgrade to anything better, I would suggest a GeForce 4Ti card or better, or a Radeon 9600 or up. Maybe someone else can give you a better ATI reccommendation.

thats waht i meant 4ti the geforce one i had that in my last comp but virus after virus gfot in so i gave it da boot.
#14 May 12 2004 at 5:19 PM Rating: Good
ok. yes. The Geforce 4Ti will work. it's what I use and I have the lowest one. But I can run the game no problem.

(please type clearly....I hate reading jumbled words and trying to figure out what you meant)
