Hello there bellshazza.

What is the the minimum DirectX requirement for the game you want to play? It looks like youre card only supports up to DirectX 8.1.
If you already have the latest mobo and vga drivers and directx installed then youre card cant handle the game , but if you haven't then try updating them.

yeah i hav DirectX9c (well thats wat came with the game) ive had a look through various forums on the net wich hav replys of utha ppl with the same problem.. but 2 no avail the stuff that they said that worked doesnt seem 2 even make a diference if any thing its worse off.. as far as i can get is to the oppening screen b4 the intro movie i get the black screen then its drops out saying an unexpected error has occured... ive even updated the video drivers required 4 the game... wat is sugested in utha forums is a thing called 3D Analyze... wich is great if u know ne thing at all about graphics cards.. and wat the different things meen.. i hav no idea so im stuffed virtually... ive tried various combonations but none hav worked.. so i hav no idea....
thanx ne ways if thats ne more help... :P
let me know if u can add any more info thanx all...

If the game was shipped with DirectX 9.0c then it most likely will need it to run and if youre card doesn't support it then there is nothing you can do other then by a new card im afraid.

The Game you have is it battlefield 2 by any chance? if so BF2 only supports a certain ammount of graphics cards with Pixel Shader 2.0 or some sort,

If you can afford a gfx card then get the 9800PRO its quite cheap and very good for it money.

Totally agree - I've had one for 2 years and I run almost all games maxxed out
