Wow...no offense intended to the OP and others with similarly outdated builds...but some of these computers probably would be in demand by some museums in a few years.

I refer you to this thread for good, reasonably priced builds.

Vulpes is big into AMD and the GPU-maker-formerly-known-as-ATI (also now AMD), so you won't see a lot of Intel or Nvidia there.

I have the same error. I want to run it even on low low settings.

is there a fix for this to tell the game to run any ways??

Give you give us your machine specs? It's usually because the video card is too old or is non-compatible (mostly happens with integrated video chips).

Unfortunately the only way to fix that is to build yourself (you could buy it, I guess, but building is easy to do, cheaper than being, and lets you customized everything).

It could be something else entirely, but we'd have to know what your hardware is to give a good guess.

I have the same chipset as the original poster. With onboard video.
I want the game to use my onboard video regardless of specs is there a work around to the error?

it should be able to at least load the graphics and menu with core2duo and 2G ram.

Unfortunately no. Most integrated chipsets don't work. The G33/G31 is pretty much at the lowest end of the low-end graphic cards/chips (technically it's not even a graphics card).

Check out the benchmark with how it compares to other cards/chips. The G33/G31 is rated a 10......a mid-range rates around 200-350 (I wouldn't even bother with these)......and a high end rates around 4000 or better.

If you want to run the game, you'll have to buy/build at minimum a new mobo and an actual graphics card. Probably better idea would to just build a new rig from scratch.

I can't imagine why you'd want this. It would be pretty much unplayable.

Your stuff isn't good enough to play games like this one. you need a better computer, sorry but this is where you decide to spend money to buy a computer to handle this game or spend way more to get one that will play anything for the next few years.

@Crashingmail, correct. I am just pointing out he has a second option to building a whole new system now that costs money we don't know if he has. Just buy a better video card and use it for now plus it could be added to a future new rig.

That second option though, really isn't an option. He has a dual-core processor. I had a good solid video card which was the key to allowing my old system play multiple newer games on medium to high settings. It play MWO like total crap though often relegating me to less than 10 frames per second when the weapons started to fire. Dual-Core systems do not play MWO very well and since MWO relies more on the CPU than the GPU upgrading the GPU might let you launch it, but will barely let you play it.

If your running on a laptop, its porbably time to sell it and get a desktop for playing games.
As someone else said, integrated graphics share the computers resources (RAM and Processor).

If you or anyone else is thinking about building a gaming rig, pm me and I'll be happy to help -this is my profession after all...
