I did a bit more digging and i found out that i do have enough dv RAM, but on 'can i run it' it says i only have like 48. it must be that something else is taking up the space or i need to delete some stuff to clear up space, i just dont know what i have to do in order to make room. @crinrict

Posting your specs would be a good start.
If you don't want to do it publicly, you can send me a PM.

@lananthem Dedicated video memory (or vram) for integrated video is memory that is engineered into the motherboard or the video card and is normally not used for anything else but the video system. Integrated video chips (either with the cpu or chipset) frequently have no dedicated memory or very little. What the bios will do is set aside part of main memory for dedicated vram. The power of integrated video systems is engineered into the motherboard. While integrated video chips have become more powerful in recent years, the chips still don't have the power to replace a dedicated video system. The game requires at least 128Mb of dedicated video memory to run properly. Basically you need enough memory to write data to fill the screen for the frame buffer (which is the data what each dot on the screen will look like). The higher the resolution the more memory needed. This is an over simplification of the video system.
