Fatal Directx error code 10000

I would if there wasn't this godforsaken error coming up

And the reason it go's 7 fps on my laptop is because that 1.65 GHz processor is a SINGLE core. All the other stats reach the recommended category, (except for my video card which i am fine playing on low detail)

intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00 GHz 2.99GHz 1.50 GB RAM
NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro
all drivers are up to date

Won't happen; I recommend you use a different machine if it's available. Architecturally the game is next-gen and there are a lot of things going under the hood that needs a modern GPU (even if it's a low-end one) to even run the game. If you are looking to make an investment I suggest purchasing a machine if you lack the technical aspects to build your own.

There are plenty of sights to purchase gaming level machines (sort of atleast).

Here are some common ones that I am aware of.

I can get an amazing graphics card and maybe some ram, would that help? I have no money for anything else

You can build a PC that will run it on low @ 40-60fps for around 450$.

I highly recommend building your own if you know how, or if you know someone who does.

Your system is too old to upgrade I'm afraid. that TNT card is a AGP slot graphics card.

[BrandonHeat]

What does that mean?

[Andvari2297]

It means your system is literally too old to upgrade. Modern motherboards are made with PCI express x16 slots for the graphics cards.

The motherboard in your system uses an older AGP slot type.

All modern video cards are PCI express.

[BrandonHeat]

So does that mean i can't use or put in a new graphics card? I don't know what you mean by upgradeable.

[BrandonHeat]

Well i looked it up, being the technichal wizard i'm not, and i went to device manager, right clicked on my graphics card, clicked properties, and the location said PCI. Doesn't that meen it's that pci express 16 or whatever?
