According to the compatabiltie test it can.... Just the MX range cant.I got everything set to performance max, so everything looks worse than a game made in 1990 lol.Surely it must be able to run this old game....If the card is not compatiable then how on earth did she play for a hour for the first night?  Did it suddenly say "AHH NOO I JUST REALISED ITS A ti4400!! TURN OFF AND CRASH!! QUICK!!"boom..And then constant crashing.Surely if it was incompatabile it would not work at all or hardly at all, she can play randomly for some time,  but others she cant.
