Answer #1

Ok, go to “My Computer”, then left click it and choose “Properties”. There it is :]

For graphic card thingie… Left click your desktop, then choose “Properties” then “Configuration”. You’ll find it there, under “video” along with your Monitor info.

Well, this is for XP. Maybe Vista uses another prosidure

About the requirements: FOR WINDOWS XP Windows XP (Service Pack 2) 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent 1 GB RAM At least 6.5 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content 128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0

FOR WINDOWS VISTA Windows Vista (Service Pack 1) 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent 1.5 GB RAM At least 6.5 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content 128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0

Hope I’ve helped.

Answer #2

Go to Start, and choose Run type in dxdiag I never heard of the RIGHT click on the desktop, and it doesn’t have anything about configuration. Also, RIGHT click on my computer to get Properties.

in dxdiag (brings up the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, you can see your Bios, Processor, Ram and Direct X version. Choose the top tab Display to see info about your video card. If you never installed one, it will probably be integrated graphics. I played TS2 for a while with integrated graphics and it was ok, but what a difference when I got a 256Mb graphics card and increased the RAM from 512Mb to 1.5 Gb! To find out how big your hard drive is and how much room you have on it (looks like you need 7.5 GB available): go to My Computer, right click and select Explore. All your computer drives will come up, Find Local Disk (C:), right click it and choose Properties. You will see a pie graph of your hard drive, how big it is, how much is used and how much is available.
