    If anyone can help with this am most grateful.
    I downloaded and installed Unity for the first time, everything worked fine. After signing in to unity and trying to load the example project/or make a new project, it starts to load scripts/compiling etc, a box says hold on etc..., but then the computer just crashes (windows task manager says unity not responding). I even left it for 1hr but nothing happens.
    Ive tried re-installing unity with the same result.
    I tried updating my graphics driver
    I checked the DEP settings they are just on for windows essential programs.
    I am thinking - is my computer below system requirements or are there any other programs that unity needs to use that i might not have installed on the computer.
    System info:
    XP pro 2002 service pack 3
    intel pentium 4 , 3.2 ghz, 1 gb ram 120gb hard drive
    graphics card geforce fx5200
    any advice greatly appreciated
