You only have half the video ram running the game requires.

Boot into BIOS and see if you can adjust the video up to 128megs.

thanks again Murry im not sure how to do this.

Watch your screen as the system boots. It should tell you what key to press to enter setup.

The documentation you received with yor computer should give you the needed directions.

i set it at 128, no dice,i guess its time to upgrade. anyways thanks for the help Murray.

Have you made sure you have Directx 9.0 installed?

Also, check the box the game came in. It should tell you what versions of Windows the game was made for.
