The problem might not be your computer's software; its likely that its the hardware, but im not too sure

well my graphics card is ati radeon x1050 as i cannot afford anything better anytime soon but my pc is windows 7 if this helps. but i was reading another thread a few days ago (before i made my account on here) and the person on the thread sounded like they had the same problem as me or something similar and they solved it so i was just think since then that i can sort this out i just dont understand what i need to do to sort it out. thanks Mine Turtle.
i couldnt see the image under your writing if thats important.

Run the game at the lowest possible settings, set everything in the ATI control panel to the lowest settings possible and make sure to not have any other programs running the in the background while playing and it might work better. Also if you are using a windows aero theme (shadows and fancy effects) it can help to switch to a more resource friendly simple theme while playing games.

i have already done and it helped but the game is still so laggy and a few other things are that i cant see the mouse in game, i cant pause or open inventory but the start menu is fine though and iv put all game settings to low or off to help. im stumped haha but thanks anyway.

Sorry, but no. Your graphics card is just too weak to play the game properly. Unless you can upgrade your computer, you'll have to live with the lag.
