Can anyone help me with computer error?

please can someone help me.
It's hubby's birthday and the kiddies have bought him a farming simulator game, but when we install it, it crashes and comes up with "unexpected platform exception occurred".

I have a feeling that something must be missing from our laptop, but not sure what.

Can anyone help us? The lo's are sad Daddy can't play his game:(

    Whats the exact name of the game, what operating system do you have and what operating systems does the game cover
    Does your computer cover all the specs? (RAM, graphics card, cpu etc)
    :idea:

    You did not list what graphics card you have....also your cpu is rather low for the recommended specs.

    This will tell you

    Naughty people without a firewall should not get it from anywhere else, use the safe site I gave you

    Thanks Richie. I have downloaded this from the link, but daft as this sounds nothing really comes up. Do all laptops have graphics cards, as mine doesnt seem to have one?:(

    Unfortunately the game is not going to run well (if at all) with that graphics card.
    Is this a Laptop or Desktop PC.
