ah yes, should have checked that.. it popped up in "Related threads" you see.

Date?

Look before you post

infact, on second glance the game may just not be up to scratch.
:(

Memory: 512MB RAM

theres your problem.

So it should actually work fine then?

I will go round and use all my available skills!

Cheers for the help fellas!

I would have said it should run it, it wont be 8xagp though thats just the max the port is compatible with

have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?

also try stopping some of the programs running in the task bar bottom right

go round uninstall and reinstall, doesnt sound fully installed properly to me

Will have to go round and have a proper look at it. Problem is that I have no idea about computers and neither does the person who I bought it for!

Cheers for the help.

Graphics card name:

NVIDIA GEForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X

Chip:

GEForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X

Is this enough to run the game?

Cheers for the help so far!

Its not my comp so I will have to use the dxdiag thing again rather than looking at the back. I will report back shortly!

do dxdiag like tim told you then goto the display tab, will tell u there

also to quickly check look on the back of the case, is the vga port near the ps2 or usb ports, and not on a seperate slot like the ones with the blanking plates over

:( Cheers. How do I find out what sort of graphics card it is?

I suspect this to be the problem. I guess it'll have to go back :(

what graphics card, it will be down to the graphics card, if its a built in one on the mother board more than likely wont be any gud, you need at least a ati 9700, or Geforce 4 TX 4600

This is the spec I think.......

Processor: AMD Athlon (TM) XP 2400+, MMX, 3DNOW, ~2.0GHz

Memory: 512MB RAM

Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (5.1,build 2600)

DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0C(4.09.0000.0904)

Not my computer unfotunately. I will try and find out though!

Cheers.

Depends how 'old' is 'old'. HL2 needs a pretty decent spec machine really...

Go to Start > Run...
Type: dxdiag (and click ok)

Once it's analysed your machine, post the operating system/processor/memory/directx version from the System tab, and the device name/total memory from the Display tab... (will give the key specs of your machine)

:boggle:

Computer jokes are wasted on me.

Bought it as a present for someone but can't get it to install. Says something about 'excess physical dump'???

Anyone any ideas how to get the damn thing to run?
