I went, I saw, and I became flabbergasted.

I must say that the game shouldn't have to function on my Dell Insprion 9100
with the factory settings still intact.
It contains a 3.0MHz Intel P-IV
512 MB RAM
and
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 with 128Mb Video RAM.

All this controlled by Windows XP Professional with all updates so far.
And DirectX 9.0c

It still freezes...:-((
