The video requirements for the game are pretty steep, and it looks like your video won't cut it. That may not be the only problem, but it's the first show-stopper.

In general, you can find out games' system requirements on the web, and you should do that before you spend the time downloading something you might not be able to play.

Your system just isnt up to the task for that game my friend. I run Doom3 and Quake 4, and it takes alot of RAM and procesor speed to run these games smoothly. Just to give you an idea, I had been running Quake 4 on my second, ( older ) system, it has a 512 MB video card, 2 gig of RAM, and an overclocked 3.2 Ghz P4 processor, and it still ran alittle jumpy. I'd say thats your first problem. Sorry.
