Guest mmitch230 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 So I downloaded 911: First Responders from the Atari website. Everything downloaded fine and seemed to install properly. When I went to start the game it prompted me to put in my Activation Code to unlock the game. I had my girlfriend foward me the confirmation e-mail as she bought the game for me for my birthday. I got her e-mail put in the code and the game unlocked. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until I actually tried to play the game. Just like the other person had stated I start the game and with in seconds it crashed right back to the desktop with no message. I looked to see if I had the samsum pc program but I don't, I only have Samsung YP-55. Could this be causing my problem? If not what else do you think it could be. I also e-mailed Atari on this but I highly doubt they will be much help. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theparanoid Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Maybe you have to take your pc to computer store and check but might not be worth it depends on how much memory and what processor you have. With a 4mb video card I doubt the rest of your system meets specs. I have not seen a 4mb card in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Utrechtterror Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 LOL, is your pc from the year 0?em4 wont run on those specs, buy a new pc is my only advice . Upgrading would be useless ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi,- Your processor: could use 3ghz more- Your RAM: needs about +- 350mb more- Your video card: Is not in the list you gave but well, I suspect it to be at same lavel so i would recommend a new one too.I don't know your budget, or what you earn a month (not really interested in knowing either) but PC prices went down quite much. At least a PC that should run emergency 4 should be available from 300$. I got a pc that could play all on high for 900$ (including vista ultimate 64b)About your graphic card you can find it our by doing: Windows => Run => DXDIAG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
