I need some help with whats going on with my computer in terms of its Graphics Capabilty, which is weird and i don't understand why. I'll start from the beginning, so you might want go to the Toilet, grap a cuper and sit back down.
My Computer Specs as follows (yes i know i'm in need of a upgrade bad, which i'm currently working on)
NEC Versa A2100 running Windows XP home edtion
AMD Turion 64 Mobile technology ML-34 1.80GHz, 448MB RAM
SIS G760GX 64MB (Graphics)
Now just after i got this computer mum brought me LEGO Star Wars which has a min specs of;
CPU 1GHz or more
Graphics; 100% directX 9 compatible 32MB Direct3d card with Pixel sharder surport
Hard Drive: 500Mb free disk space
I use to play thhis game alot and it ran nicly but i clocked it and uninstalled in 2007
I Reinstalled it last week, it installed ok and then when i went to play it it says i don't have Pixel sharder V1.1 and i cannot run the game.
Still more;
in 2009 i Installed the Sim2, Sim2 open for Business and Sims 2 nightlife which requrie the following;
1.0 GHz or more
256RAM
1.5GB hard drive
32MB graphics card with Tranform and Lighting capabilty
I run all three to this day with only a few major lags when night turns to day and vice versa.
Last month i brought KOTORII which requires the following; (min specs not Recommeneded specs)
1.0 GHz or more
256MB RAM
32MB Open GL 1.4 Compiant AGP or PCX 3d graphics card with hardware Tranform and lighting capability
I'm unable to run this game cause my Graphics card does't met the min specs
(it meets all other Recommeneded specs)
It told me that i didn't have the T&L capability when i installed it, yet the sims needs it as well but i can play it fine.
Heres when it gets weird;
I hired Battlefield 1942 which i use to play pretty well untill my computer had the Blue Screen of death (which it recovered from) and i uninstalled it, and decided to reinstalled the other day heres it min specs;
500MHz
128MB RAM
32MB graphics card with Direct 3D capability and tranform and lighting Capablilty
It runs fine rihgt till i start loading a map, it loads maybe 1/5 then quits to windows without reason.
Now could somebody tell me WHY i could play these games yet i can't now and why KOTOR tells me i need T&L yet three games that Work (semi for Battlefield) have to have it to run.
Please help, and i can't just settle for "get a new computer" or something, not on the table ATM till i get this job i'm eyeing up.
Thank you.
