Although decent, that's a long way from a high end video card. According to these system requirements, the 4800 might not be good enough. What happens when you try to launch the game?
CPU: 2.5 GHz Single Core RAM: 1 GB RAM VGA: 128 MB 3D Video Card (Geforce 6600/Radeon 9600 or better) DX: DirectX® 9.0c or higher OS: Windows 7/Vista/XP SP 2 HDD: 3 GB free hard drive space Sound: DirectX sound card

If research and memory serves , the 4 series came with 512mb & 1gb or ram , so that should not be the problem . Which specific card in the Radeon 4800 series do you have ? It may be that , if Alter Ego is not the only game you are having issues with , a possible driver issue . If the only game , then a possible re install of the game , or a new install of the latest , or previous driver may help .

I was over at Amazon.com and read an interesting commet from a player who was also unable to play this game. She said her video card was well above the specs and found,in her opinion, the problem was the absence of Secum 7.42 0001. I do not know what that is but this is the only game, aside from The Momet Of Silence, I have had a problem I could not resolve. Ican not justify up gradeing a video card for one game so I guess I am stuck with it.

The discussions , and there are several , about drm have been talked about for ages , so , there's no real need to go in to that here . Is your copy of Alter Ego a seperate physical copy , download , or part of the Adventure 4 pack ?

Ah, I see you mentioned it in the original post. Do you have DirectX 9.0c installed? If not, you may want to peruse to Microsoft's web site and get the latest version.

Creeeping_Doom,
I have a stream account in which I play Dead Mountainer's Hotel and there are no problems, Did the game download and play w/o problems? I ask this question because the game is $19.99 @ stream and I woul hate to buy it and still be unable to play it.
