My friends laugh and say the fact that the computer is a 'packard bell' is the problem right there

They could be right. Back when I was researching which computer to buy before I picked my current one, Packard Bell came in dead Last in a _PC World_ customer survey in almost every Category. That was three years ago, though, and ISTR hearing that PB has improved somewhat since then.

I've gotten this error too in our simultaneous game. We tried having 2 other players try to execute as host on their PCs and the game still errored out, so I don't think this is a hardware problem or antivirus problem at all.

the error I got was:
"Access violation at address 004DECA4 in module 'se4.exe'. Read of address 000001F4." We are using 1.30 and TDM 1.70.

Access violations are generally a programmer error, although they can be caused by hardware. It simply means that the program in question tried to access a place in memory that the operating system did not give it permission to access. #1 cause is a mis-indexed array.
