Not that I know your CPU settings you seem to be running on basic minimum settings.. never good. Other stuff your running will take away from your 'basic' needs.
Post your full system specs and we will look again.

1GB if RAM and 256MB video card is the recommended setting- that's what they have.

of course, if they don't have a supported graphics chipset then they can't play it- for example, if they have an integrated intel chipset the game will probably act as described.
