 Based on the below I'd say it's the graphics card!

Maybe. I can't offer you tech support. I'd mess it up even more because i'm hopeless. Sory. But, [RWP]DJM is online and i'm SURE he will help you. :)

Hope you get it sorted ;)

Hiya TommyC :)

The main problem you have is your graphics card.  Unfortunately, it doesn't meet the minimum requirements for the game, as listed below (taken from the FAQ's):

Operating system: Windows 2000, XP or Vista
Processor: Pentium 4 2.4GHz or AMD equivalent
Memory: 1GB (Windows 2000/XP) or 2GB (Vista)
Graphics card: GeForce 5900 or ATI 9600 Pro / X600 (128MB)
Audio devices: Sound card
Input controller: Mouse with scroll wheel
Optional controllers: Joystick, Joypad or Steering wheel

The only thing we can suggest is to upgrade your graphics card to a newer model :)

Regards.

DJM.

Thanks Shipaddict for your reply :)
