It's integrated graphics. That explains it.

You need some kind of PCI or AGP video card. Try the nVidia GeForce 5200 or 5500 series.

where do you get it from

Almost any computer store, CompUSA, Best Buy, etc. It's about $50 - $80 for the card, depending. just make sure you get the right type (PCI or AGP).

That game was released in 1999. Maybe there's a backwards compatability issue with Windows XP (assuming that's what you're using)? Maybe DirectX issues, though I doubt it considering the error you got, which is pretty generic.

Have you tried just uninstaling and reinstalling that game?

XP didn't come out until 10/2001 I *think*. It's worth a shot.

Yes but from a big publisher like EA, it shouldnt have a problem with XP
