I bought a game to play on XP with BootCamp. When I try to run it, though, it crashes (typical). I think the MacBook I have (early '09) might not have the right video/graphics cards in it. The game needs:

OS: XP
CPU: 2.0GHz
RAM: 512 MB
Disc Drive: DVD-ROM
Hard Drive: 8 GB of free space
Video: 128 MB Video RAM, DirectX® 9.0c-compatible
DX9 Minimum Card: NVIDIA® GeForce® 8500 GT
Sound: DirectX® 9.0c-compatible
Input: Keyboard and Mouse
Internet Play: Cable, DSL or Better

I'm not exactly sure what half of this means, and definitely don't know if my computer has it. Any help is extremely appreciated.

Did you install all the Windows drivers? What is the error message, if there is one, when the game crashes? What game?

If you do indeed have an early 2009 MB, you should be fine in terms of graphics.

The game is World In Conflict. The crash screen goes away too quickly for me too see it, and for the drivers, I'm not really sure. How would I go about checking that?

While booted into Windows, did you insert your Leopard disk to install the drivers?

Sorry for the delay. I currently do not have my Leopard CD but I'm pretty sure I did install the drivers, plus another game I own (Civ IV) works perfectly on it. Just not this one. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the help by the way!
