Do you meet the minimum requirements for the game?

update your graphics driver, install the patch and try this

Please note that whilst the update will allow many people with below minimum spec machines / graphics cards who had problems with the demo to get the game up and running, some below-spec graphics cards may require the DirectX 9.0 SDK is installed to run the game.

How do you update the graphics driver please mate and install what patch?

Yes - i am thick.

Cheers.
