Now when you say "downloaded" do you mean installed? There IS a difference.

And regardless of how recently you got the computer, if it isn't good enough, it isn't good enough. I'm not saying that your computer is bad, but check it here: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest.

Check under your program files, go to either Maxis or EA, not sure which as I don't have the game.

I almost ran into a common mistake, here's how I avoided it: When you unzip the files (did you?) do to the location, and there is a SEPERATE installer once you downlaod it. You should be able to play spore after that. If you do install Spore, it uninstalls your Creature Creator, mostly because theres one built into the game.
