RDub: Here is a link to the system requirements. The kicker is I think your lappy, if it is the same one we have from like 5 years ago, has an Intel based graphics card (which suck) and is not supported. Right click your desktop, select properties, then the settings tab, and look at what is says under display, which is right above your resolution slider. That will tell you what kind of card you have. And now that I think about it, your processor might be a 1.8, which will probably be too low.
This game should not have such hefty requirements for what it is. The coders added a lot of bloat and REALLY should have streamlined the code so the load times are less than 30 - 45 seconds to start a game, and the freakin graphics were a lot less detailed. But it is fun for what it is, which is not a AAA title and probably had the low funding to prove it.
Check and see if Richy Rich's School For Haoles will front a new computer for you! Lappy's are pretty reasonable, and if you are getting your room paid for, you can get a new one for the price of a months rent that your aren't spending! ALL JUST TO PLAY BLOOD BOWL!
