    Could you post up details about your video card? :)

    swmeek I got your benevolent dictator pal!!

    Everything so far is good even if you were stuck with integrated graphics it should play.
    But some integrated graphics may not work though.
    But yes the video card info will help even more.

    The card you have isn't the best in any way but it should work!
    Don't expect dazzling graphics out of it!
