wow.... seriously? the average person doesn't know that. since this dell laptop is virtual nonupgradable for the video card, guess i will have to send the game back. since i bought it al wal-mart, i'll be USPSing it to you. Now, one final question: why can't there be a less graphics intensive version of the game? i totally wanted to play this game too, since i am a political junkie.
but i thought that i met all the requirements? i have direct x 9, and 64mb video card, and 600+mb ram...2.2gh processer... so what's not up to date? EDIT: If it's something not listed on the box, then it should be listed in future copies of the game.
I get the game up, but none of the characters, or backgrounds come to life. I have partial menus. The map shows, but none of the characters do, none of the buttons do, nothing.
