What are the specs on your computer? Type it nicely so I can comprehend what you are saying faster.

well it would be nice if i knew about comps an where can i find the specs at?

Choose start--->control panel---->performance and maintenance---->system

What does it say under computer?

micrsoft xp home edition

version 2002

service pack 2

presario

amd athlon xp 2006+

2.13 ghz, 480 mb of ram

What type of internet do you have?

adelphia cable

some on the game said it could be my video card whatever that is lol

wh4t 1s joor v1d30 c4rd ?

????????????????????????????????????????

if u mean what is my video card where do i checkt that at?

Its your Video Card/Chip.

The "glass armor" is a common graphical error that happens when your graphics card cant render the animation.

EDIT IN: Go to your Device manager, or back to System Info and go to components and then display drivers/cards.

s3 graphics pro savage ddr

let me guess ill have to take the game back becuz i cant run it on this computer.......

gay

Or you can get a new awesome graphics card .

I suggest the Nvidia GT 6600 or the ATI 9600
Both of them are pretty good buys

this is gay let me guess it costs 100s of dollars my broke ass family cant afford Zzz might as well take it back

What store lets you take back opened games? I should live where you live :\

BUt if you can give us the numbers for that card. You seemed to give us the name and no specs.

EDIT IN: I run GW on a $30 card. My computer itself only cost $150 lol. Those specs you gave for your computer are better than mine.

well they wont let me take it back i forgot about that omg i just wasted 50 bucks

could a virus affect it? cuz we have 1 but it doesnt semm to do anything to the computer but make the anti virus annoy me with pop ups

It really isnt that big of a deal. seriously video cards you can find for pretty cheap. buy a nvidia video card and if you ever need to just get on their website and you can download updates. and yes a virus can affect your cpu. even if it doesnt seem to do alot at first, some viruses can look like it is doing one thing but actually doing another. so that virus you have can be eating the hell out of your cpu and you wouldnt even no. but i would bet it is probably just your video card. just buy a cheap nvidia and update from their site.

Name of?

(BTW, turn off all that crud when your playing games :\ it makes it lag)

itll be like a year when i get 30 bucks my mom gets paid pays the bills then gets gas an cigarets an then were broke agian

well you could convince her to stop smoking seeing as she will die from it, and then she will buy you a new video card because she is so thankfull that you saved her life. or you can wait until the cigarretes kill her and buy a new video card with the insurance money. I hate cigarretes or any other type of smoking. I have had 3 grandparents killed because of it and i dont want anyone else to go through that.
Cigarretes are bad!!!!

ya well she still wouldnt get me a video card i might as well give this to my friend since i wont be playing it
