Every time I try and run the demo my comp crashes before I even see an in-game menu! My comp is a pentium 3 550 mhz machine, with a geforce 2 graphics card, 1.15 gigs of space (after install), and 319 megs of ram. What wrong?! Someone PLEASE help me, if this demo works, I'll likely buy the game!
Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the demo?
What graphics driver version are you using?
Are you installing the demo from a cover CD or from a download? (Could be a corrupted file...)
BTW - If there's only 1.15 Gigs of space free, you may well experience problems running the full game - the Windows swap file will get VERY cramped after putting several hundred more megs of game on that drive... It's possible that this is also affecting the demo, but I doubt it...
HTH :)
