Thanks for any help.

Could you please post your system information?

The way to post your system information is going to Start > Run > and type DXDIAG, a message will popup just click yes then either take a picture ( use printscr above the numberpad or next to the F12 button ) or do SaveAllInformation then attach it to your next post.

Then try this:

You have to download the ActiveX from the site for the test to work.

Run a test for [Name]

If you get recommended you system is awesome!

If you get a minimum pass then upgrade your system to the stuff it needs ( videocard, RAM or something else like that )

If you fail do the same for the minimum pass results

Hope I helped
