I tried installing _Rome: Total War_ on my computer and that message popped up. I’m pretty sure I can run _Rome_ on my computer, I was able to run _Star Wars: Galaxies_ and those requirements were greater. Do I have to send my computer to get fixed or is there a simple solution to this problem?

I had a similar problem a couple of days ago and believe it or not, the solution was to clean the CD. It had a smudge that made it partly unreadable. It is worth a try.

I’ll run it through my disk cleaner, but its a brand new game and that shouldn’t be a problem. Can there be something wrong with my driver? Or could I have removed something critical during a spyware sweep or through HiJack this?
