I have ran it, and the site with all that stuff. But what information do you need to tell me how to fix this? Do you need information about my hard disk, graphic card or what? There are a lot of information on the site. Just tell what you have to know...

Hi Kevin, I need the processor Info, The memory Info, and the Video Card / Chipset info primarily and your Motherboard name & model # number if it isn't already liste in a previous post. By processor Info, I want the say an Intel Pentium 4 running at 3.2 Ghz, same goes for the memory, I want how much you have 1,2, or 3 Gb and the speed 533 Mhz, 667 Mhz, or 800 Mhz.. I also need what type of Video Card you may have installed and how much onboard ram it may have. coastie

Hi kevin, Is your card AGP or PCI. The reason I'm asking is that the game requires at least 256 Mb of video ram. If it is an AGP card then it is fine, if it is PCI then it only has 128 Mb and not enough for the game. PCI slots are white and AGP is usually brown or possibly red. coastie

Okay, If my video card is AGP or what it is called, then all is fine or what?

If the card is AGP, then in all likelyhood, you have 256 Mb of Video ram which is the minimum requirement and enough to run the game. If it is a PCI card, then it probably has 128 MB of ram and not enough to run the game. Your system meets the other minimum requirements as far as I can tell. You click on start and then in the run box type diagdx. That will tell you what is installed in there. there is also atrouble shooter in there as well. coastie

Ok, Might be the wrong command as it didn't work here either. Anyway, take the cover off your computer, and the Video card will be in an expansion slot at the back. The cable from your monitor should be plugged into it. coastie

Hey Kevin, Just as I thought, I screwed up. :D It should have been "dxdiag". You will see the current version of DirectX at the bottom of the list. coastie

Hi kevin, If you have a brown expansion slot above the white PCI slots, then yes, if not, I would recommend an nVidia FX5500 PCI 256 DDR card. coastie

It would be an expansion slot that you would plug a card into, like a Modem. coastie

Hi Coastie65. My computer support all the requirements, but when I still try to run the game, the screen is black, I come out on the desk and game.exe say: Game.exe has found an error. Sorry for the moment.
What shall I do? s:

Posted Image Hey Kevin, If your cable from the monitor is plugged in the the BLUE adapter that you see in this photo, then you are plugged into the onboard chipset. If you are plugged in below that, and that is open as mine is, then you are on a card. You need to determine what that card is if that is the case. coastie

Hi Kevin, What you are seeing in that pictureis USB cables, Mouse, & Keyboard. The power cable is up out of the picture and My monitor is below ( The whitish looking thing) almost out of the picture and is on a card. The Open "BLUE" Port you see in the picture is the connecrtion from the monitor to the onboard Graphics Chipset ). coastie

Weird. My monitor cable is placed the same place as yours. And I still can't play the game. Would you have me to put my monitor cable in that blue thing or shall it still be where it is or what?
