Problem loading game

[TheMonty]

When I try to run the game, it gets to the screen with the copyrights, goes to a black screen for a few seconds, and then shows the eternally hated "<program> has encountered a problem..." message. I've already tried restarting the computer several times and everything else it suggests in the troubleshooting guide.

[Q]

From what I can tell, you have an integrated graphics processor that is not supported by the game. You need a graphics card. Even a cheap one will do.

[TheMonty]

When I ran the hardware scanner, it said my graphics card met the minimum requirements (but not the recommended) so I would think that it would work to some extent. I think I'll try it on my laptop first before going to the trouble of getting a new graphics card.

 

EDIT:

While I'm at it, are there any possible solutions that DON'T involve buying new hardware?

 

Re-EDIT:

...if there's no other way, at least say so.
