It's onboard video. It might not be enough for that game but worth a shot anyway. The driver link is above.

Can you tell us the rest of your computer specs or a make/model?

1. Go to the manufacturers website, look for a SUPPORT or DOWNLOAD section.
2. Download the appropriate and latest driver for your graphics card model.
3. Execute the EXE and follow the on-screen instruction, a reboot will most likely follow.

Wrong... If you just run the Driver installer before removing old drivers you can end up causing lots of crashes when trying to play video or games.

The proper way to do it is...

Step 1: Find the driver version installed at present

Control Panel
Performance & Maintanence
System
Hardware
Device Manager
Display Adapter





Write down the driver version... Mine is 7.1.2.4.

Step 2: Download nVidia Nasty File Remover

Step 3: Uninstall old drivers by following step 1 and clicking Uninstall Drivers. (This will uninstall GPU drivers only which is good if you have an nForce board because Control Panel can sometimes uninstall all nVidia drivers)

Step 4: Reboot PC

Step 5: Run nVidia Nasty File Remover and search for all files that relate to your driver version. I would look for all files that are 7.1.2.4 if I uninstalled mine. Select them and delete them.

Step 6: Reboot PC

Step 7: Install new drivers. Check HERE for newest nVidia drivers that are suitable for your GPU. (Always reboot after installing drivers)

The same goes for ATi you just have to use Catalyst Uninstaller.

@nishil... Why do you insist to not use full English words?

[nishil]

hmm maybe it is becuase of my age ....yes thats it sorry about that

ok i un-installed the driver and installed it again but the same thing happens ... the intro plays and then the credits
i have also updated the driver by going to the link that rossco gave but no joy there


ATI256 readion .....i think that is my graphic card model or something ...im not sure if it means anything

Why you dont just go to a hardware store, buy a cheap fx 5600 nvidia graphics card for 40 dollars and just plug it? The sis 650 sucks, its an Onboard graphics card....Maybe you can make it work...but the lag of graphics, the fps and textures will suck.
Just spend a little bucks and you will play it really smooth

[nishil]

you know what i just might do that but spend pounds instead of dollars
thanx
