Spore System Requirements?

I just purchased Spore today after waiting for a year for it to come out.

I finished installing it, then went for it, and open up the game.

it says "Sorry, your graphics card does not meet up with our min spec."

Now, this is what the Sims2 said before, and then my sister re-installed it a few months later and it worked...



i'm really ticked off now, all I wanna do is play.



I have a Windows XP Home Edition

which was bought in 2004

and my Card is a radeon 9000 (IF)

and i have directX version 9.



can anyone help, or am i completely hopeless?





Thanks a Bunch.
