He has an option on there maybe 3 or so? that says "multicore processor fix" or something like that.

Thanks for all the replies, you guys! =) I'm so hopeful that I'll be able to play!

I tried the multicore option and it gave me a new desktop icon to click instead of the original (modified) shortcut. When I click on that my screen blinks for a moment but nothing else happens. It seems I can only access the game through the original shortcut. I also looked it up and my system is a single core processor.
Also: anyone notice if their version of Direct X matters? I'm pretty sure I'm current but maybe that is having an effect as well? Again, I'm no tech expert. I think I'm starting to guess random things now =p
