Oh, forgot to say:

When I installed the game. The intro plays. After this I get a message that it can't start

It's probably because of your video card, Your computer hardware seems to be that of a workstation and not a gaming computer.
The Quadro series of video cards is meant for serious applications such as CAD and Graphical Design, it's not unfortunately meant as a gaming video card, this may be the main cause of your problem.
Without knowing your driver dates, I'm unsure if this will help, but there is a quite recent WHQL driver for the Quadro, released on 6/6/08 :- Quadro Release 169.96

yes, it isn't a gaming video card.

I'll just wait. Was going to buy a new computer.

What graphic card should i go for?

[BTOG46]

If you want to play most new games at a good detail level, at least a Radeon HD 3870, or a GeForce 8800GT, you can go higher, but it starts to get expensive, you can go cheaper, but then the card will have trouble in the future as games get more demanding.

Geforce 9800 is the best, I think?

And the 8800 is better then the 9600? Or am i wrong?

I don't really have to think about the money (reason personal, not stealing )

[BTOG46]

Yes, it is, the 8800 is better than the 9600, even though it's a newer series, it's equivalent in that range to the 8600, the first number is the model series, and the following numbers are a guide to its power and place in the range.
And of course, there's also the latest range, the 200 series, although some of the technology in the GTX280 will need games written to support it.

GeForce 200 series

and a screen with a higher res than a 1080p HDTV otherwise the GTX200 cards are normaly around the same as the 9800 and on low res screens it can even be slower than the 9800.

[sensationikke]

Whats the best Radeon card
And the best Geforce card?

How about the 9500?

(I never heard of 9500 before. But now i saw it on a site)

[caswallawn_2k7]

a 9500 is worse than a 9600
