I'd overlooked the great age of the message thread. It is considered a waste of time to dig up threads more than about three months old. I'm less than optimistic about the use of low end Intel video chips for any really decent games. If that's all that you have, I recommend an upgrade of the hardware or a request to a Game Adviser for credit on a less demanding game.
