    That error is one of EA's many useless errors as they don't actually tell you what went wrong. Only thing I can recommend is making some more free space on C drive to see if that helps.

    swmeek I got your benevolent dictator pal!!

    How much space did you clear and did you defrag it afterwards?
    Considering you have a Celeron cpu which is about useless for gaming anyways and only a GB of ram I'd be kinda surprised if it would run at all.

    I'd freed up 5GB of space in C:\. And yes, Celeron is crappy on gaming, but I am able to run other games, such as C&C Generals Zero Hour, The Sims 1, GTA Vice City, Red Alert 2, Halo Combat Evolved, and so on.

    Are all those pirated as well? I thought your name looked familiar, and then I remembered this.
