Computer Help Needed!!!

Closed.

 

Try the tech forums...duh

 

You probably need a better graphics card then.

 

I bought my computer recently so it should be good already. I aren't putting this in the tech forum since barely anyone posts on that.

 

Check if all your drivers are right, if they are then there's not much else you can do.

 

How do i do that?

 

I would have to guess that your graphics card may not be compatible with directdraw.

 

...Figured, but is it possible to make it compatible?

 

Fail. Simply fail.

Update all of your graphics card drivers, system drivers etc. and try to run it then.

I would of thought it would have been terribly obvious. Go to your card's manufacturers website (if its nvidia, go to nvidia.com, if its ATI, go to ati.amd.com etc.), look for the driver downloads, download the correct driver, and walah.

 

Thanks for telling me what to do but there was no need to be a dickhead about it. Geez, just because i use a computer doesn't mean its my life.

Is there a spot where i can just hit upgrade on my computer? Or do i have to go to that site? (its ATI by the way).

 

Ok Mate -

Start >> Run >> DxDiag >> Graphics >> Find Which Card You Have >> Go To The Card Manufactures Website >> Look For Downloads >> Go To Drivers >> Pick Your Card

Hope That Helped

 

Thanks, i don't think i have run though? I know i did on windows xp but i have Vista now and i don't know where run is. I have an ATI symbol on my task bar, is that the same thing?

 

Im not sure but try download DirectX 8 or above, this usually helps.

Another solution is to replace your graffix card or make it dual Card.

 

I'll try the Directx 8 since i tried everything else =\. I have windows Vista if that means anything. Vista = Gay so that might explain something.

 

Vista doesn't need Run, but its there all the same.

In Vista all you need to do is type the command / name of program and it will show up. But type "run" and Run will show up.

Sorry about saying you fail, massive thudding headache, stressed, etc.

go to http://ati.amd.com/ and find the correct drivers.

 

Ok, sorry for also being mean in return. I went to ati.amd.com and i think i got the right stuff etc. =\. I went to ati.amd.com then went to graphic drivers and from there i filled in all required details that took me to another site then i downloaded Catalyst Software Suite (32 bit) and installed it all.

This is bs... my old computer can play it but this one can't lol.

 

Try asking your manufacturer for support. Or ... Get Tech-Support from MS - Though they won't do much for you

 

Hmm well i'll just leave it till tommorrow then delete all the crap off my computer. Anyway gonna go play PS3, had enough of this computer, been trying all day to play an RTS game -.-.

 

lulz.

 

i got a built-in graphics card on my computer and age of empires still works for me. its probably something wrong with urs or its not compatible.
