Quote: "i guess it's due to not meeting cpu requirements?"
correct. This error usually occurs on systems with AMD processors that have graphics cards with 64meg or less. I have managed to get it work on a system that has an intell processor and a 64meg video card but due to the graphics memory some of the objects weren't showing correctly. The lowest reported video card/ram that it will run on so far is 128mb and 256 meg ram.
