has anybody seen this error after starting doom 3. i have reinstalled 
the game a number of times and this hasnt helped.

my spec are:
   - celeron 2.8 ghz processor
   - realtek ac97 sound cards (on board) (latest driver dated (08/02/04))
   - 786 meg memory
   - radeon 9200 video card, 128 meg memory (catalyst 4.9 doom driver). 
      the game did not work prior to installing this driver)
   - directx 9.0c

all windows updates are also current(no sp2 installed). hell, 
everything/driver is current on this machine

i can play the leaked alpha with no issues and good graphics, good 
movement (fps is unknown and not choppy).

i tried compatibility modes and turning off nav auto protect before a 
reinstall.

the only thing i can think of is the game is checking for a processor 
type of pentium 4, which i dont have there for it wont run.


the text being sent to microsoft is listed below.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
