Subject: any suggestions on how to make this game work?

am such an idiot.
so went AGAIN and got a computer game that cant operate.
when will lg EVER LEARN that should just NEVER buy anything for this stupid computer.
ok, enough of that vent.
anyone have suggestions for what to do next.

this is what happenened:

* michelles birthday AND christmas present all rolled into ONE... because she so much wanted this Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets computer game.
SO, told her that will find it.
Ofcourse, never go shopping anywhere in stores (except a grocery store when HAVE to go) so ordered it online at ebay.
was scared to order at ebay.
did it. and it all went well.
the seller didnt steal mine cheque and leave lg with nothing.
the game arrived.
it was shrink wrapped so seems it is true-never used condition as the add said.
michelle waited a month after christmas and 2 weeks after her birthday to get this game.
GUESS WHAT!!!????
cant make it work.
only sound comes, no video AT ALL.
sound is even slightly choppy. but that is ok.
IF ONLY could see something that would be great.
SO start to read the boklet.

discovered that:
the game REQUIRES:
(minimum configuration)
* 350 MHz pentium II processor.
* 64MB RAM
* 4xCDROM
* 600MB free hard disk space.
* 4MB video card and DirectX8.0a compatible driver.
* 3D accelerated mode requires a 16MB Direct 3D capable video card using blah,blah,blah,blah, blah, or blah, chipset with DirectX 8.0a compatible driver.
* Direct X8.0a compatible sound card.
* keyboard.
* mouse.

aahh.... seems that a lot of that DONT HAVE.
seems (ofcourse am not quite sure what have in this computer, but this is what was able to figure out [hope it is right]).

have:
* 133MHz Pentium (r) processor.
* 128MB RAM
Physical Memory 132 MB
Total Disc Space: 2.15 GB
Video Card: Trident micro systems, trident 9685/9680/9682/9385/9382/9385-1PC1
and this video card seems to have 1MB of RAM.. not the 4 that the game wants to have...
so what is the big deal... am just a few numbers off... a 1 instead of a 4 for the video, 133 instead of 350 for the processor... hey, still have way MORE RAM at 128 then they even asked for (at 64MB) geesh, couldnt the computer (if its so smart) borrow some of those extra RAM numbers to make up for the video and the processor numbers... geeshh... these computers are stupid... or was it lg that was stupid?

(what the heck kind of a name IS THAT for a video card???? why cant it be something like the blah, blah, blah names were.. such as voodoo5, or GeForce2, at least those names are easier to try to type in a search engine.... AND, do you think this stupid trident thing can even be FOUND anywhere online???? NO! not with mine brain searching for it anyways... what an idiot am... but the booklet says to search manufacturers website for drivers....

so, here is michelle crying herself to sleep... kus her mom is too stupid to figure out to READ the instructions BEFORE she tells her daughter she can have harry potter game....

so, anyone got any magic to make this all work?
athe instruction booklet says to look for drivers, online at manufacturers sites...
well, cant even figure out WHAT these drivers are... cant even find theis trident video card... and the sound card... hhmm... well cant even figure out what kind of sound card it is....
it took 2 hours to figure out this far....

geeshh..... maybe this computer will make a better anchor this summer on our fishing trips then it does a computer..?

but then....
how will lg ever get to talk to you all here?

geesshhh.....
what an idiot am AGAIN.

(did the same thing to her 3 yrs ago, when got her a winnie the pooh game that never worked.... :o(
