    Well the only other explanation I have is simply your computer is too old. I looked at your dxdiag again and it only shows you have a 1.4GHz processor. (Athlon 1400), not a 2.0GHz (2000)

    Really? thats weird i could have sworn it was a 2.0Ghz. Is there anyway possible to get it to run on a 1.4? i heard that if u turn all the options down to lowest quality its specs are lower than the Sims 2, which has run before easily on my computer. But because I cant edit the options without running the game first, I can't change them. Maybe if someone turned all their options to lowest and posted up their config folder it might help, but at the moment i dont know which bits of it to change.

    Probably not. You're already barely hitting the bare minimum requirements.

    Would it be worth a shot? the config folders only a few kbytes

    What's to prevent those config files from being updated? :)

    What's to prevent the Creature Creator from updating those config files? Your computer changes constantly (adding new files, maintenance, deleting files) and your computer keeps track of it.

    ANybody willing to help?
    If somebody could please follow these simple steps it would be much appreciated.

    1) Open Spore creature creator trial
    2) Turn all your options down to the lowest quality setting
    3) Post up these files:

    ConfigManager.txt
    Properties.txt
    Preferences.txt
    VideoCards.txt

    If you could do this for me it would be much appreciated.

    I tried to get Spore to run on a laptop with a 945GM graphics chipset (one generation older than 965GM) and the laptop flat out rejected it.

    Ok then what about the config files?
     
  16. ManagerJosh

    ManagerJosh Benevolent Dictator Staff Member

    Unfortunately I can't give you the files since the ones I'm using are for Spore and not Spore Creature Creator. Even if I had Spore Creature Creator, the ones I have are the retail version and not the demo. Sorry.

    If someone wants to upload them, feel free to.

    Yeah does anybody feel like they could do this for me?
    Please?

    PS in the mean time could you do this with the retail version, because i just bought it off eBay(Creature creator) and should be recieving in a few days.

    swmeek I got your benevolent dictator pal!!

    Just so you know that this will only work with someone who has not installed Spore yet.
    Seeings how the majority of us here have done so it will hard for you to find someone who has not done so yet.
    For those of us who have installed the game means we would have to uninstall Spore and then reinstall SCC , gather the info you need and then reinstall Spore again.
    In case you haven't heard we can only install Spore 3 times on our computers and then we have to beg EA to install a 4th time plus show proof of purchase.
    Most people aren't going to risk losing one of our activations to do so.
    I'm sorry but most us can't help you.
    You might get lucky and someone who hasn't installed Spore will come along and see this and help you out.
    Have you contacted Ea's support department with your problem?
