Blech!

So for the past couple of weeks I've had this overwhelming desire to play Caesar IV, this citybuilding game that Mike had back in the day. I spent all this time searching online to see if I could download it. I even looked for other similar games, like Zeus or Pharoah, but alas, the best I could find for free were demo versions. I finally sucked it up and paid $15 to download the entire Ceasar IV game. Before I could install it, I had to clean up my computer and defrag the hard drive, which literally took about 4 hours. Then when I tried to install it, my computer crashed halfway through. I thought that I finally got the whole thing set up, and was all excited to start it and play, and now when I start it, all that happens is I see a white screen. I can hear all the music, but there's no visual. I went online and did some trouble shooting type searches, and it looks like my video card isn't good enough. what the fuck? i have a fucking alienware! its like, designed to play games! yeah, its like, 5 years old, but so is the game! i'm so bitter, and totally disappointed.
