The game requires 32-bit video, and yours is set to 16-bit.

Also, you need to update your video drivers. They are too old.

Updating the audio drivers would be a good idea, too, as would increasing your swap file to at least 2GB.

And don't forget to update the game. Version 1.0 was somewhat buggy and tended to cause video cards to overheat.

Moose has pretty much covered it. If you need specifics, you can find video drivers at ati.com, and the GC2 1.4 patch over on the downloads page of this site.

thanx moose that did it changing it to 32 bit thanx man again oh my god thanx i've been bugging to play this game and thanx to you i can thank you so much omg lol ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty
