    Neither in the attached segment of a DxDiag here, nor in the duplicate message thread about the same thing, is any specific video graphics solution included.  Games such as Simcity require a minimum video capability that rather few of the more ordinary AMD combined processors offer.  A current driver is also required, and you do not have one. 

    Internet forums are designed as write and return systems, with the option to set an active flag and get a SUBSCRIPTION that will generate notices about replies.  You should take that into account.

The OP offered zero for information, and naturally cannot expect any answer as a result.  You cannot know your problem is exactly the same, because of that self-same failure of the OP. 

For that party, if you return, and if your error message did name a graphics aspect, you need to include the Vital Specs of the PC and of the OS, as well as give a far more complete description of the situation.
