System requirements/ Video card

[Txbull816]

I finally got the account set up and game installed. I wait for automatic update then launch the game. My screen goes solid white with blue cursor. After minute or two cursor turns into arrow then back to regular cursor. Then it pops up that program has stopped responding. Two options check online for solution and close or close program entirely. Have a feeling that it may be video card or along those lines. How do I check to make sure my system meets requirements and any other solutions for fixing problem? I hate to think I spent $54 on game that won't even work. BTW, I'm running Vista on Wal-Mart E-machines with Intel processor. That's really all I know on system right now. Thanks for the help.

Press the windows key (the one with the windows flag) and R at the same time, type dxdiag and click OK. On the System tab it should say processor and memory, on the second tab there should be a name for your video card, please post those 3 here.

This is what I found: Windows Vista Home premium w/ Intel Celeron E1200@ 1.60 GHz 1014 MB RAM. Clicked on second tab and all it had listed was Intel 82945 G Express Chipset Family. 224 MB 1024x768 (32 bit) Generic PnP monitor. I didn't see any other names for video card. Tabs I had were system, display, sound 1, sound 2, and input. Thanks for the help.

You don't have a dedicated video card; just integrated graphics. Integrated graphics are terrible for gaming. You'll need to buy a graphics card, and possibly upgrade the power supply so you can run the video card.

The processor is also not fast, you would still have a slow running game after getting a graphics card.
