To help we will need to know the specs on your system.

NM, I looked at your xfire account that was in your sig and found your specs there. You need a new video card a 9600 with not cut it. The following link says you need this "Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 128MB RAM (NVIDIA 6600 or better/ATI X1300 or better, excluding ATI X1550)." http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/ [...] s-Revealed


This ATI X1950GT 256MB for 125.83 (AR w/ Shipping) looks like a good deal. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814102093

That's funny, considering the minimum system requirements say 2.0 :\

My mistake, I suppose because it said it only needed 128mb on your video card it only needed 2.0.
