What video card do you have?

@ Above:
What's quoted are the system requirements for WaW. The attached image is his CPU. He said he tested it and it ran "very slow".

Those seem like the minimum requirements.

edit: ^^^^^^^^^ before he edited his post it said nothing about the fact he had tested it.

I'm going to guess you have a laptop, so it's probably integrated and just isn't powerful enough to run the game at a decent framerate. You could try turning the resolution on the game all the way down if you haven't already, but it still wouldn't be playable.

Go the the Start menu and you'll see a search bar. Type in "dxdiag".

In the window that pops up, click the "Display" tab.

That's your problem.

As Law mentioned, you have an Integrated graphics card which tend to suck (hard) at gaming.

Your graphics is insufficient to play the game, but also your dual core CPU isn't really fast enough either. Your laptop wasn't meant to play games.

Buying a graphics card for your laptop won't do you any good, you're better off buying a completely new laptop or computer, preferable one that has a dedicated graphics chip.

Edit: 999...

It's not always that simple with laptops. Most of them will only let you go so far as to upgrade RAM, and as it doesn't have a dedicated card already the chances are there won't be any room.

Of course some laptops do allow you to put a graphics card in, but at a guess going by your processor speeds, yours isn't one that was really meant for that.


edit: Buy an actual desktop computer if you want to play games on it.

yeowch. you do NOT want to play games on an integrated GPU.

if you want to play games with your computer, you'll have to get a dedicated graphics card (though I'd suggest just getting a new computer if you can afford it).

When I read the thread title, I thought it might be referring to computers that have 2 CPUs. Kinda disappointing to find out it's just a low end dual-core CPU.

Only the last couple generations of integrated Intel graphics are really capable of playing games. Everything else (read as, everything that doesn't have HD in the name) should not be used for anything more intensive than watching videos. They were never designed to play games.
