Downloading A Game...Need Help

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I want to download (from the internet) a game called Brothers In Arms, Road
To Hill 30.

I bought this same game at Staples yesterday but, I can't use it. I don't
have a DVD-ROM and It needs a DVD-ROM drive...looks like I'm stuck with it
now as I opened it already
This is the very first time I ever bought a game, just assumed it would work
because I had a P4 machine. I'm a newbie so to speak

Below is what I have:

Cicero Electronics Inc Intel(R)
Pentium (R) CUP 1.60GHz
1.59 GHz, 224 MB of RAM
Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 2

Will I be able to download and play this game?
Can someone out there please help me, I'd really appreciate any help here.
Thanks

Cindy

Hi
I don't think your system has the required resources to run this game.
look Here

Why don't you have your CD-ROM drive changed to a DVD-ROM drive, it
shouldn't cost too much, I've just had to do that on my husbands machine
as he only had a CD-ROM drive you should also get software with it that
enables you to read and watch DVD's
