Hello! Ive just recently installed seasons when i ran in to a problem. My game seemed to load just fine. I was too excited to play, so i skipped the intro and BOOM! an error popped up with a red X and an OK button. So, i decided to remove all my downloads and i tryed it again, but the same thing happend. I dont know what to do? Could it be my video driver not working right? I hope it can be solved! plzzz help:happy8:

cheers!

Is your video card compatible with Seasons?  I would imagine if you try running it with a card less than the recommended minimum you could run into this problem.  Your video driver, particularly NVidia, could be the problem too.

Yea, i was thinking the same thing. But when i go to dl a newer version of video card, all of them are out of date. I have a Dell Demension 2400, is there anything i could buy instead? Or...? Does it really matter if it should be for my specific model? I dont know nothing about computers!:hammer:

If you are using the built in video controller and haven't added any RAM, that would be your problem.  It comes with 512 MB of RAM and the video controller shares it.  The Dimension 2400 really wasn't built for games.  Even maxing out the memory at 1 GB and adding a video card, the computer will basically suck while playing TS2, especially with Seasons.

You've got two options I think.  
1) Buy another 512 MB of memory and a separate graphics card. (cheaper of the two options)
2) Buy another computer that is more of a gaming machine.

Your best bet is to print out a copy of the recommended specifications EA has for Seasons and for your computer, go to your friendly computer store and ask the geeks there to help you either upgrade or replace your computer.

Haha yea thanx! I'll ask the geeks hehe. I did in fact add a 1GB of Ram to my already 256 MB, making it 1.25 GB. Though my graphics card isnt good. I think its barely minimum required for TS2. One of my friends has the same model, and he upgraded his RAM and his graphics card, and he has seasons and his works fine. So i think i know what the problem could be. I wish i could buy a compter for gaming, but i dont have the bux. I think i can afford the graphics card though! Thanx very much that helped me out a lot!:happy8:
