Just installed Animator. Getting CrayTalk Animator Initialization fail message whenever I attempt to start it.

Is it my hardware?

CPU: AMD SEMPRON PROCESSOR 3000+, MMX

Video card: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

I have the 2GB memory.

Hi..

I'm sorry to say your system is not powerful enough for CrazyTalk Animator which will be the reason for the errors you are getting. You can find the minimum and recommended system requirements HERE. Unless you are able to update your system to meet these requirements you will not be able to use CTA I'm afraid.

Sorry I can't offer you any better news.

So what is the crux here, my cpu or video card?
Both?
:(

Are you telling me I need a new system altogether?

When the sys requirements say pentium 4 do they mean pentium and no other equivalent?

Really the problem is both the processor and graphics card. They are both approximately 5 years old now and made even worse by the fact that the Nvidia 5200 is a very low powered gpu and is not suitable for graphics intensive software like CTA.

Ideally you would need to upgrade to a dual core processor and go for at least a generation 7 Nvidia graphics card. Very importantly avoid under powered graphics cards with low second numbers like 7200, 210 etc. For best performace something with a second number of 6 or higher will be ideal. 7600, 8800, 260 etc.
