   Hi I'm posting this for general information, it may help others.
   I downloaded LEAF BUSTER and installed it, but when I try to run it I get the error message "Sorry this game can't run on this computer, Check system requirements"
   The System requirements are pretty basic and although this happens to be an old machine it is better than the required set up, it's spec's are.
   Intel Celeron 750Mhz
   MSI K7m Pro MoBo
   640Mb PC100 SDRam
   Nvidia Riva TNT2 Model 64 32Mb
   Via AC'97 Audio
   DirectX 9c
   Windows 2000 Pro + Service pack 4

   Leaf blower is a neat little game, I've seen it played, So a little disappointed, but I will try it on my other system when I get home, hopefully with better luck

   Wow thats an old video card. The Riva TNT2 is definitely going to be a problem on this machine (apart from the low memory).

   The Game requires DirectX 8 or better - but the TNT2 Riva is a Direct3D 5/6 Generation card. If the game requires 3d video hardware support from Direct3D 8.0 - you would need at least a GeForce 3 generation card.

   Hi BuBBy
   Like I said this is an old system but still higher spec than the game requires according to the blurb. i.e
   300 MHz Processor or better, 64 Mb RAM or better, Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP, Microsoft DirectX 8.0 or better

   I doubt many machines with that spec have a later graphics card.

   Anyway no problem, I'll download it to my other system this evening and try again.
