If the system requirements are XP or 2000, I'm afraid ME doesn't work. If you don't believe the system requirements, contact the manufacturers help desk.

he means did you buy the Thief game yet? If you have aalready bought the game maake a system restore point and then install the game to see it it works. If not then restore from the saved point.

Do you have the Named game = the game you named in your post (thief something or other)

the makers of that game. Seems like more newer games require higher requirements. Here are the ones for this game that was just released for distribution May 25, 2004:
