Yes, Raven Shield will run on XP. You just need to install and run it as an administrator.

Regarding video card, just about anything sold by ATI or Nvidia today will be sufficient.

my pc has ATI radeon xpress 200 that's not sufficient i guess? how about rogue spear and ranbow six 1 still runs on xp?

Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear both run on XP though you might have to install and run both in compatability mode.

It might just about be capable of running Raven Shield at low resolution and detail.

What type of video card slot do you have on your PC? AGP? PCI? PCI Express?

Also, interesting tidbit: R6 runs on my Vista desktop and laptop, but RS doesn't run on either.

Go to Start&gt; Run and type in DxDiag then click OK. Let it run completely and save the file to disk. Copy and paste it here in this thread.

Is this a store bought PC or is it a custom built PC? That is the biggest thing that is needed to be known. If store bought, what brand and model is it?

sadly is a store bought pc.. and its an "hp pavilion a1357c"
