Can you update your monitor driver so it's actualy the monitor you have? Also can you set your refresh rate to 75 by default.?

What's the problem? TFT monitors usually only run at 60Hz.

Laptop versions of these cards may work but are NOT supported.

i have ati mobility radeon 9000/9100 IGP, it says laptop version MAY work, so i should not buy the game, right? since it is not supported...

hogzhed666 please read the thread. I told to do not post untill you already done the things i say. Have you installed service pack 2? In your dxdiag i see only 1. :/
And please remove from this to the end:

Also make sure you did all things in the first post from this thread that are related to your problem. Like latest drivers for motherboard,video-card, sound-card,directx that came with the game.

Ok sorry,,

Sorry for my bad english.

hogzhed666 not being able to install sp2 means a faulty hardware component or a conflict between 2 components. It seems the game has issues with all kinds of video cards but especialy radeon9600.

Try this:
Go to start, run type dxdiag and press enter
Go to the sound tab and try moving the hardware acceleration level slider 1 notch to the left.(From full to standard).

Try allocating more ram to the video card from bios cause i see you got 64 now shader (if you can). The thing why the exe doesn't work for you is cause your video card is integrated even if it's a 4 mx. After sharing more ram try again with the exe dentist_1 provided.

I have run into a start up crash myself, though I recieve no error messages. (Alienwares automated support shows up instead)

I tried numerous times to install and uninstall as it locked up on me the first few times upon exiting the install. I now have a clean install (the 5th one) and yet the game will still crash.

Unlike everyone elses that Ive read, I do not get any splash screen at all, just a spinning disk loading icon before it crashes. Every time.

I have read the fixes here and have tried them to no avail.(april directx exe, the no cd exe, turning off Sli, and reinstalling the latest drivers which I did last week afore the game came out)

I know its not the disks themselves because I have installed the game on another computer and although I did not play it there it did load correctly. I never had trouble with the demo when that was out and it is weird that I am having trouble now. Especialy since this computer is only 3 months old.

Ifn any one has any more ideas I would be very grateful fer the help cause Im out.
