Andrewas you are indeed correct. It runs, at least before that point in the game, perfectly with the settings at their highest. I've already uninstalled the game and plan to reinstall sometime today. I'm also trying to get my hands on a network card so I can link-up to my ethernet hub and gain access to the net. That way I'll be able to get the appropriate downloads for XP. If none of that works, then I'll most likely either be stuck with long chats to the support department for each game I own(and wish to play), or I'll be stuck with PoJ machine that wont run games. I pray for the former as opposed to the latter, in that particular case. ;D
