I just bought RTC3 for teh PC and it's not working.
Here are my prefs:

OS: WinXP
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHz
RAM: 480MB
DirectX 9.0c

Display:::
Device: SiS 650/651/M650/740
Chip Type: SiS 650 Rev 00
DAC type: Internal
Approx Tot. Memory: 32.0MB

Drivers:::
Main Driver: SiSGRV.dll
Driver Version: 6.13.0010.2040 (English)


I think the fact that I only have 32MB (highlighted) is my problem. I am getting these messages:



Thanks,

It would appear that you need a graphics card; yes.

You can try to reinstall DirectX 9:

Hang on...I get this in the DxDiag:

Hardware-accelerated Direct3D 9 is not available because the display driver does not support it. You may be able to get a newer driver from the hardware manufacturer.

Does this mean that if I get a new driver that is compatible with Dx9 I can play it? Or does this mean :

Hardware-accelerated Direct3D 9 is not available because the display driver does not support it. You're screwed

Most likely the latter

You can try a new driver:

Under IGP graphics drivers... follow the steps...

Device: SiS 650/651/M650/740
Chip Type: SiS 650 Rev 00

However it is most likely that you will need to get a Graphics Card.
