What you have is intergrated graphics thats not designed for todays or even yesterdays games ,you need to see if your M.B. has an AGP slot and install a graphics card that compatable with your system ,if you only have PCI and no AGP (Accelarated Graphics Port)they do have PCI graphic cards however the older PCI iterface does not give you the possibilities of AGP or the newer PCI-Express card ! Do not confuse PCI with PCI-E when looking for a graphics card if you do not have an AGP slot !
Good Luck Nick

"Are you trying to tell me that my integrated graphics chipset has zilch support"

"Good Luck Nick" 'tries' to say a lot of things - it often seems more of an effort than it's worth, but although many have tried, there really is no convincing him otherwise

A better post for the Gaming Forum, however system requirements for the game in question can be readily found here

At any rate, your display adapter is integrated and not very 'feature rich', and while you may not have an AGP 'slot', your graphics adapter appears to be on an AGP bus - - you will find PCI (standard slot) graphics cards considerably slower

bottom line - if you wish to enjoy modern gameplay, then purchase a computer that's equipped for it

(fyi "NTFS filesystem" as well as "Please HELP!!!!!!!!!" are irrelevant, and need not be included)

I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter.
