It sounds like you\'re running on a dinosaur computer that\'s 8-10 years old. I wouldn\'t be surprised the slightest if it\'s not working on your specs. Yeah, it is a shame that this kind of thing happens, though. Not much you can do besides trying to update your drivers and whatnot... If that doesn\'t work, i\'d look into buying a new computer with up-to-date standards.
Assuming first that you\'re living on your own and have job, why are you using such an old computer? You ought to be getting a new one at least every 5 years if you want to be playing the latest games.
So, respectfully speaking, i\'m also going to speculate here and take an educated guess: you\'re a kid who\'s still in grade school and your parents haven\'t allowed you to use their modern computers because they\'re for their office work, and they can\'t afford to get you one with gaming specs, so you\'re stuck with using the old family XP. Is that close?
