bad wsc! i havent tried any really new games, but it works for lego star wars (not that graphical a game lol), and a few others. Sorry i cant be of more asistance but you may need a new graphics card to run it.

Looks like i need to buy a new garaphics card


Thanks anyway mate :snooker:

Does anyone know what the pc specifications actually are?

[snookerfan92]

When I click start, nothing comes up also. Does anyone know if my graphics card is not updated enough for this game?

[RGCirencester]

Dell dimension 4700?
If thats right i'm phsycic... if not i was guessing
Whats the rest of the specs for your pc... Its another onboard graphics card and not a dedicated one, so you may have the same problem

You need a graphics card that supports Pixel Shader 3.0, the integrated one you are using at the moment doesn't support any pixelshader function whatsoever I'm afraid.

[RGCirencester]

Supports pixel shader 2.0 im pretty sure, just not 3.
as i said before i used to play lego star wars on the intel gma 850 i think it was, something like that anyways, and it worked using the method previously mentioned.. Older and less graphical game though but i know quite a few pixel shader 3 games that will run using this method.

[Trotter147]

I stand corrected, seems it supports a software pipeline for pixel shading. Not optimal though by a long shot.

[RGCirencester]

Youd be much better off buying even a cheap dedicated graphics card.

Can someone technology-minded please list the cheapest compatible (ie supporting Pixel Shader 3) graphics cards for the different types of slots (PCI, PCI-E, PCI-X) to help the few of us that can't even play the game, however good or bad it is.

I ordered a Radeon X1300 graphics card from eBay not realising that I have a PCI-X slot and not PCI-E

Good job is was only about £13
