Here you go 🙂
- Is this a new computer that came with Windows 10 or did you upgrade ?
- Did you download the game or install from DVD ?
You can actually just use 3 GB of the RAM you have since you have a 32 bit OS. Bit of a waste really.
This error has to do with the security measurements MS put in place so programs that use SecuRom have issues.

Its a new computer, my brother had it built for me. So windows came with it. The game is a download, i have had it on my laptop before.
