WEll when i start the game everithing is fine, untill i try to play. Note i have played the tutorial and beside it being laggy for the first 3-4 minutes it works fine, however when i try to play a bot game it crashes and leaves a ˝sending crash report ˝message on the screen which stays there till i shut down my PC. THe game stays open in the loadin screen in the backround but can not be turned off. I have added my tech support results.

Your video card does not meet the minimum requirements of 1 GB of VRAM. (you have 512 mb) Also, you have an old CPU (7 years) that was mediocre even when it was new.
Lastly, with only 2 GB of RAM, Windows 7 32 bit is going to use 1 to 1.5 GB, leaving only 512 MB to 1 GB of RAM for NS2, which may cause issues beyond what your video card causes.
As not meeting the hardware requirements, I do not believe you are going to be able to play NS2, sorry
I am deeply sorry to tell you that your PC is not sufficient to run Natural Selection 2 (NS2).
You need at least 3 GB Ram to run NS2 properly without running out of memory ( NS2 needs 1.5 GB RAM alone and the OS usually takes another 1 GB )
I know that the store page specs say 2 GB Ram but those are very outdated by now and we (the CDT) requested multiple times to update them to avoid situations like yours.
If possible i would suggest you to ask the Valve support for a refund or to upgrade your PC
Edit: Ironhorse was faster, doh
