You need to sue the school whose Computer Literacy classes were so bad that you ended up so misinformed in, unless perhaps you flunked the course, which would go a long way to explaining the error you made.  The Pentium P4 was never as good as its competition, and Intel gave up on them, started over using the P3 archirecture as a basis for Core.  The P4-D was a half-assed attempt to create a dual-cored P4 that was mostly unsuccessful, and all P4s are way down in the basement below the official game minimum.

Whether it's the direct cause of your problems is not a 100% certainty but the system requirements name an Intel Core 2 Duo as the minimum and I'm quite sure the Pentium D is nowhere near that quality. Whether the problem is CPU related or not, even if you get it to run it won't be a smooth experience.

If you wish to be rude people can be rude back. If you knew anything at all about computers you would not be using such an old system to play modern games. Some of us have old systems for playing old games on but we know the limitations of them.

Posting like you are some sort of technological expert when you clearly know nothing at all just makes you look like an idiot.

I'm running into the 'insufficient privileges' error. Any suggestions on a fix? I'm pretty upset about 6 weeks of tech support and no solution at this point! System is well past min requirements.

Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz
8GB RAM
Win 7-64bit
ATI Radeon HD 5800

Just downloaded drivers. Using Admin account.....losing hair.....


Any suggestions would be appreciated!

FYI, Zero, I flunked a few dummies in my classes when I was teaching computer subjects at the university; and I have the feeling I would have had to flunk you as well, since it doesn't appear to me that you pay enough attention to what you are told.

Here's a good web site that will automatically check your system's specifications vs specific game requirements necessary to run many popular games. You select the game you want to run from a drop down list. The site requires an add-on to be installed. I tried it and had no problems.

[Gorath Alpha]

Wrong. The only thing useful about that site is that you can get a printout of your specs. They are wrong so often that the place is nothing but a very bad joke!

But Zero doesn't pay any attention to anything, anyway.

[zeroturbo]

Okay guys, I have to say I am a little sorry for my last message, I was really pissed off that I couldn't play the game and all people did in the forums was badger me about my system.
I am not the technological expert (I wasn't even trying to appear as one, weird that you guys got that idea), but I was very offended when I came here for help and people started pretending they were and blaming and trashing my CPU, which I admit, is old, but has never gotten in the way of playing games, for an error that was clearly not my responsibility, but Bioware's.
The Pentium D is old, but it was NEVER crap (I can say it because I have it - in fact, when the first core2duo's came out, it was better than 80% of them, I know this because I built my computer a couple of months after they came out and made the reasonable choice to pick the Pentium D) and it still meets the minimum requirements of 85% of the new gen games(including DA2), and every game I tried to run that didn't have it included in the minimum requirements ran smoothly, as if it did meet the requirements.
As I said, I know my computer is old, but when I bought it (4 years ago) I built it to last 4~5 years, with occasional upgrades. That's why I'm starting to save money so I can build another great one from scratch next year (well, I might use the HD). But I don't live in a first world country, I'm brazilian, building computers is very expensive to me, even more so than it is to any that lives in the US or in the EU. That's why game developers also have people like me, who has a not so new computer, in mind when creating a game, instead of simply building games for people who have the processor that came out yesterday (because we live in a world that everything gets outdated in a matter of months).
To Moondogie and Redneck1st, if you were really trying to help and not just trash my PC, I am really sorry I was rude to you, I have my reasons, but it doesn't change what happened.
To Gorath Alpha, I'm sorry you were dragged into this, you sound really smart and I'm sure if you do just a little bit of field research with my CPU model you'd see it's not so bad and it's fine to run games. I am not saying this as an expert, I am a law student, I don't study computers, I'm coming from a 4 year user point of view: the overall PD experience is great, but its time is cominng, and I know it.

Has anyone's issues been fixed with patch 1.3? I still cant seem to play, I am getting the same issue as before, though after re-installation this time, I did not even get a validation check.

I assumed it was not needed as I defo
pass the min requirements, perhaps I should have mentioned it haha.
Anyway the specs are as follows

Windows 7
Ati Radeon Mobility 4650 HD
4 Gb of Ram
320GB Hardrive - 7200 RPM
Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 - 2.53 Ghz

I am playing on a laptop if that makes a difference.

This thread is just a big mess, really. If you can summarize your part of it all by itself in a separate post that's just your own, we may be able to start over again. DA2 is particularly difficult for nVIDIA graphics drivers, and graphics cards. It has seemed to be working pretty well on Radeons You need to name your driver information and dates. That's true whether you have a Geforce or a Radeon.Also, what kind of settings (Medium, Low, screen resolution, etc).

@ Gorath Alpha

Haha well this was originally my post. I have tried DA2 on low, med and high, and changed the screen resolution around, as well as tried opening it in windowed mode. I am using Ati Catalyst 11.5, was using 11.4 prior. According to windows my actual graphics driver is version 8.850.0.0, last updated on the 19/4/2011.

I can make a new post with my info summarized if it helps. Btw thanks to everyone for the help so far, its nice to see such a supportive community.

[Gorath Alpha]

I'm going to give you a link to an article, but one thing in particular you should consider is the Clean Boot procedure.

I'm having problems playing the game. Every time I try to start a new game, it crashes during the first load screen. I made sure that everything is up to date and my computer should have no problem running the game.

See the reporting guidelines pinned to the top of this forum. You haven't given enough information for anyone to begin to help you.

[foogoo]

Try reinstalling the game then if that doesn't help, try installing it on another pc to isolate if the installer or disc is not corrupted. If it still doesn't work on another pc then you may have a bad installer/disc, redownload installer or replace the disc. If it works on another pc then your pc may have hardware issues like bad sectors on hard disk.or bad ram or maybe a corrupted OS.

Other thoughts: Update video drivers, update direct X, update windows, update .net framework and visual c++ redistributable, do a virus scan, do a memory check, do an error check using windows disk check or ccleaner, do a hard disk error check.

[Phycopath]

@Gorath Alpha, right I ran a clean boot up, everything but the basic drivers etc.. where running. I ran the game and I was able to get to the registration page, unfortunately my internet had been disabled in the clean boot process. I tried running it after booting up with all my apps, but it had returned to its previous behavior

Edit: After some testing with the System Configuration tool, it seems that its defo one of my windows processes causing the issue, not a startup or non windows process issue. 

So does this mean I have to use a trial and error method to find the issue, slowly working through the 100 + windows processes, untill I finally find the one that is the culprit?

@ Foogoo, I have tried everything you have suggested, I still cannot run the game and my system seems to be fine. I was not able to install the game on a separate system however as my other systems are out of action of to old to be of any use.

It defo seems like one of my background apps are stopping the game from running, as a clean boot allowed me to run the game. I have been slowly working through my background processes to find identify the possible culprit.
