    i take it you have vista?? probably for xp only

    OR your graphics card is not good enough to play it

    they do put the specs required on the back of the game
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right

    try uninstalling it and reinstalling it again.

    RCT2 isnt a very graphics heavy game like RCT3 (which runs ok on my vista machine with onboard graphics)

    Try patching* to the latest version.


    *Should be the patch link, but the site is blocked here.

    What would that achieve, it'd be the same code?

    What are the specs of your PC? Have you cleaned your system (malware scans etc) recently?
