Close some programs, change your color settings to 32-bit (or if it was 32-bit, change to 16-bit.)
Can you also post your system specs?

ok i tried running it as chrom and it as the only thing going but that didnt work.

I am using a pretty beast computer, I dont know exactly what you are looking for but i will list some specs.

quad core
win7 64 bit
8 gigs of Ram
one terabyte of hardrive
AMD Phenom 11 x4 840 processor at 3.20 GHz
and some fancy HD graphics card its a major brand also running dule screen, primarry is a HD TV with an HDMI input the other is an HP w2007 monitor with the standard blue connection

I would tell more but i dont know whatis in this thing lol, i forgot. this computer was built by my dad and I so its has lots of random parts but they where all bought new and are not quite top of the line but getting pretty close haha
