Hello,
I hope someone can help, I just bought Empire Earth 2, I assumed that it
would work fine in my system because I have been playing Empire Earth 1, I
was wrong. I found a Empire Earth 2 site that does a scan on your computer
to see your computer is capable of playing empire earth 2, I copied the
results and uploaded them here..

One of the things says my computer dont' have enough memory, which I have
plenty, that isn't one of the things I am concerned about, the other two
items I am..
I downloaded and installed my video card to the one it says, but it still
says I don't have it.. and the other thing it says I don't have I am confused
about.

Any suggestions? Would I need to upgrade my whole computer system to play
EE2?

Oh sorry I forgot to mention I am on a HP Pallvion, I run windows ME (it
came with the computer)

Thank you
Carrie
