game crashes when i hit play

WOW does not take a lot of resources to run at all. It is an older game with outdated graphics. For graphic intense games like FFXIV you need a graphics card. Check your PC documentation to see if you have a GFX card or an expansion slot for one at least. It will most likely not run with onboard video unless you baught an expensive PC. But 128 mb of onboard video is pretty much useless these days.

http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/media/benchmark/na/ there is the benchmark to test if the game graphics will run.

The answer is yes you wasted your money if you bought this game without researching the minimum requirements to run it. You can try to run the benchmark like Reinheart said and tell us what your score is but I doubt you will be able to run the game well with your onboard video. Next time research the minimum requirements before you buy a game for the PC.

You can't compare WoW with FFXIV graphics. FFXIV is in a whole other league.

Well I tried to help but you are getting ridiculous so have a good day.

To be quite honest, we can't help you if you aren't willing to give information.
Can you run the benchmark at all? Are you playing in Fullscreen mode, and alt tabbing out while it loads? Are you playing in windowed mode, and is it just not responding.
Does it give any error when it crashes? If so which?
You haven't given nearly enough information. "It crashes when I click Play" is not enough information. A million different things cause a crash, and without a single bit of information you won't figure out what is causing it. If you want assistance, don't attack the people trying to help you out.

No you haven't posted that in the first post... thought I was gonna help but your responses to people trying to help you kind of ticked me off so, I will stop helping you also... Go figure it our yourself. What are you 10yrs old?
