you may meet min specs but there tons of variences ... such as drivers, hardware , ect ,,,

  go to  start/run / dxdiag (type in)

will show us what we need to know to help troubleshoot your problem .  we can ussually see whats up just off the 1st 1/3 of it . we need thru the sound at least.

as example a older driver works great on certian video cards but the newest one wont ... ect ect .

if you cant or wont try this then we cant help you.


(yea i know SA .. but honest it was all her doing)

Looks like you have a VIA/S3 onboard video chip, which is going to be problematic, at best, as it has broken hardware 3D acceleration, which is required by the game.
Try finding an updated video driver.
