Solve : New game problem from a VERY green computer user? |
|
Answer» First off, I appologize if this isn't the right spot to post this, or if I could have found the info elsewhere! I know so little it's a miracle I made it to this site to even ASK a question, so please bear with me! Can I download whatever I need to get this game to run?I'm afraid you will need to buy a new graphics card. Hold tight and some other people will give you advice on what card to buy. Could you please tell us what game it is as well, it could help us.Hey, thanks for the reply. It says the graphics controller is an Intel(R) 82865G, which means nothing to me, of course. It's just a cheap WalMart game called Shells of Fury. Guess I'm naive and figure with a computer that's about 1 1/2 yrs old, games should work w/o upgrading, but I guess I'm wrong! Looking forward to info on what type of graphic card I need to upgrade to, and, of course, I have no idea where a person GOES for that kind of thing!System requirements Recommended: Athlon® XP 2600+ or Pentium® 4 with 2,4 GHz or comparable Processor, Windows XP, 1.024 MB RAM, 256 MB 3D-Video card with PixelShader 2.0-Support, Soundcard, DirectX 9.0c compatible Hardware, DVD-ROM-drive. http://www.playten.com/eng/publishing.php?page=65&view=54 Thanks for replying. I realise now that I don't have what I need to play this game, but I'm wondering what, if anything I can do to remedy this?We need to find out what hardware is in your computer.

However, $18 is $18 and my son REALLY DOES want to play the darned thing...anyway, here's my Everest summary.
