Computer keeps crashing...

[Will]

... when I open the AOE III demo.

When ever I open the demo I just get a blank blue screen and my computer freezes completely. I'm not having the problem with anything else that I've tried.

I've tried updating my graphics card drivers and re-installing DirectX and the demo but still no luck.

My computer specs are:

Windows XP (SP2)
Intel Pentium 4 3.60GHz
2.0GB RAM
Radeon X800 XT (Driver version 5.10)

I know you need some special sh*t on your CPU for the game to work, though I don't know what it's called.

EDIT:
Though I think your CPU got it, since it's quite new I suppose

If the demo doesnt work with the monster computer you have, its an example of inefficience.

Probably the demo yes, lol, that pc should be able to handle most things. Have you tried reinstalling? (That would be a great PC for FM btw)

Yeah imagine how many leagues...

Anyway I don't know what's wrong. Reinstalling the demo could always be the solution. Furthermore have you downloaded the demo from a known place? Cause if you haven't and downloaded it from a random site than it could be something with spyware or shiitte...
