Black & White Won't Load!

[rikhurdman]

Ok, I've got windows xp with a high spec machine (2.2GHz processor, 512 DDR Ram, 64mb GeForce4 Graphics.) I install a proper retail copy of black and white ok but when i try to run it i get the splach screen and then i get returned to the desktop. This is really annoying because my friend can get it to work fine on his windows xp pc. When I check the ea technical help thing where it tells u the system info, it tells me i do not have enough video ram which is stupid!!!

I have searched through other posts but nobody seems to be able to solve the problem. Does anyone know how to get it to run??
