Default Re: Demo doesn´t start! What´s wrong??

Does it only run unbearable slow in battles, or overall?

From the in-game preferences, choose a lower resolution (800x600), low filter quality (does not make that much of a difference anyway), turn off "animated background" and "light effects". Set "tree quality" to lowest and GUI opactity to 100%.

In the Battle graphics detail menue, set quality to very low and remove (if its there) the tick from "draw grass".

If this all doesn't help, you might try the command line switch:
"-x --fastgrx Faster graphics (use 3 times for best performance (-xxx))"
