Thief 3 deathly shadow not working!!!?

Wafflezzzz

OK so I know this is an old game. The game was made for XP and now I bought a computer that has a Windows 64 Home op system. I was wondering if it's because of this that Thief does not work because it worked on my older computer that has an XP op system. Also when I bought the game, the game was stored on disks, so i had to install game directly from the disks (I have to have the disk in to be able to play the game). After I install it, the game won't even open. Lastly, this is the result of Compatibility test:

Your processor and memory exceed the game's requirements.. however your onboard graphics could be causing this issue. I would go into the game options and turn down the options to a low-medium setting and go from there. Also lower the resolution to 1024x768 and go up from there if it plays fine.

------------------ read from here plz




sorry i wrote all of this but i didn't know how to reply -

I did what u said but that didn't seems the problem ..

here's how it goes : I created a Sim nd when i was done i clicked on the â mark obviously to save my sims nd go back to town , the game lagged nd my whole mac is lagged nd i had to shut it down by holding the shut down button ,

anyways , the game lags when i do that nd when i put a random sim in any house then i click â to start playing - then the game lags !


plz help me with this , nd the graphic doesn't seems that much of a problem so
sorry if i forgot to mention that I'm using a MacBook pro ,

so my graphic card sucks on my laptop .. can i change it ? can i buy a better one for gaming - i don't mean like heavy kinda gaming so .. what do u recommend me of ?

if i can't then that would be a different topic

Answer
For future reference you click the "add details" button to respond.

Anyway, your onboard video is most likely causing the lagging. You need a dedicated video card to get a modest amount of performance out of the game. Because your onboard shares your computers memory that causes the computer to slow down... and if you had a 128mb dedicated video card then the signal wouldn't have to travel through the MB. This is why the Sims 3 minimum system requirements specifies the 128mb video card because of this.

Also check for any spyware or excessive programs running in the background which could be hogging your resources.. This is what I'd think would be causing the game to crash. (video causes lagging, lack of resources causes crashing/freezing). Ultimately, my decision would be to re install the operation system so that you can start playing on a clean slate without any accumulated crap which could be bogging down your computer.

Update: If it must be a laptop, then I recommend anything with equal specs of your current one except with a radeon or nvidia graphics accelerator. That will be good enough for the game to run decently. However, i recommend a gaming desktop.. that way you can pick and choose each and every component and install them with ease.
