Will GC2 run in Intel HD3000

It should.

No go... Crash to desktop three times. Guess I'll load it back on the desktop...at least it works on there. 

If you post your debug.err file we should be able to figure out what's going on.

Thanks for the reply. The debug is below...

Thanks kryo, for your responses. I decided to just put GC2 back on my PC, and I purchased a copy of GC1 for my laptop. A win-win for me and Stardock  .
