Calling on techs in forum for your  advice . Downloaded pc game Fate (  a 2005 single-player action role-playing game originally released for the PC by WildTangent ,  ) , from you-tube page ,   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8f_DwHCKW0  , is a old file, but I run in comparability mode . Last night , as I was playing , screen froze, was a buzzing noise in the background, had to pull battery to shut down, reloaded normally , took a minute or so longer than usual . This morning .e-downloaded rar file from drop box link given by youtube user on page .  Took down to 800 x 600 resolution ( comparability mode ) .Inserted program in Program Files x 86 , ( program not installed , manually placed in program files ).

    My question is,should I keep game on notebook , or as old as the game is, will it run normally on my pc (  pc specs below ) . When I run pc tool Hitman  Pro, it deems file suspicious , but ignores  . Have kept game on pc , but discontinued playing until Im sure its compatale now .Any feedback from gaming techs would be appreciated .
