Well, since we aren't mind readers (psycho and psychic may sound similar, but guess which one I'm not Wink), and we can't actually physically see your computer, telling us your computer specs would be a great start.

It could very well mean your video is not supported and won't work with the game, but until I know more I can't say for sure.

What is your processor speed and what operating system are you using? Also, is this just the base game?

Windows XP service pack 3 and I believe 2.65 ghz but I could be wrong and also it's the base game.

Answer the whole question, please. Is this the base game you're trying to install?

OK, so, again, is this just the base game or do you have any EPs and/or SPs? Really, I'm not repeating myself because I like to see my words on the screen. I'm trying to get all the information needed to help.

Try updating your videocard and make sure you have the latest patch installed for the game.
