When I try run the game I get these two error messages:

CreatSurface: Backbuffer
An invalid parameter was passed to the returning function, or the object was not in a state that permitted the function to be called. This value is equal to the the E_INVALIDARG standard COM return value.

And after that lengthy denial, I get another window that says:
Error: InitDirectDraw

My notebook has:
160mb RAM
2 gb free in the hd
directx9
366 processor speed.
So I think I meet the requirement to run the program.
Any help or insight that I get would be most welcome. I am really looking forward to playing this game and enjoying it has much as In have enjoyed the previous versions.
Thanks for your help!
