Probably need some RAM or a better videocard. That would be my guess.

agreed..

if its a factory built PC, what mfr. and model?

what are your PC spec's? (video/RAM/processor)

how many processes are you running? (right-click over the taskbar and select task manager.. # of processes will show in the lower right..)

i bet you know already, but you must be careful where you download your stuff from. Did you get this game from a reputable site? or lime wire? if the ladder that explains things lol

like drf said check what and how many process are running and let us know

i thought this was kind of weird. it says im running 88 processes the cpu usage is 128% and the physical memory is 38% thats without the game running and im am not worried about the game i baught it of this site thats legit and the delivory method was direct download

wow.. thats about as bad as ive ever heard. it must take forever to boot up..

of the running processes, which ones are using the most memory?

when is the last time you've ran an anti-virus scan?

if it were mine, id go to the task manager and click on the "image name" bar located at the top of the list(causing it to sort by name), then look up each task to be sure theyre legit.
