        Please, post some computer info:
        - processor type, amount of RAM (hold Windows logo key, hit Pause/Break key)
        - hard drive size/free space (open "My Computer", right click on hard drive letter, click "Properties")

        What game? What are the game requirements?

          Broni's post will suffice.

              Processor=2.67 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
                                6 kilobyte primary memory cache
                            512 kilobyte secondary memory cache

              Hard Drive= 40.01 Gigabytes usable hard drive capacity
                                 10.58 Gigabytes hard drive free space.

              The game I am playing at the moment is 'Azada' from Big Fish Games.

              Can I also point out that the computer logs off for no apparent reason on several occassions even if not playing a game.
