I'm not familiar with Windows 7. I don't believe the graphics would be an issue in this case and with Windows 7 you may have a 64 bit system. Try looking at some of these links:

Hello xGearsCarnage trying times to reduce the graphics settings of the game. That is a possibility. You can also download the latest drivers from the Device Manager. Visit the support pages from Intel and Nvidia, and search for support. Which Intel processors are in the machine? Intel i3, i5, i7? The name: HD Graphics, says little about the performance of the card.
Just try to load GameBooster3. There you can find the error on the diagnostic tool eventually.

It is not always easy to diagnose a fault remotely. Try these tips a try.

Thank you for your reply, I shall attempt the advice you gave me. However to answer your question I don't know what specific graphics card I have.

Open the Windows System Information utility. That will tell you exactly what card.

Thank you all for your replies, I launched it in GameBooster and it works fine Wink
