Computer novice needs help

[reptibuyer]

Someone please tell me why my brand new hp desktop tells me i don't have a proper graphics card to play something as simple as zoo tycoon 2.

 

[Professor]

Could you tell us your components or at least what graphics card you have?

 

[Dropkickmurphys]

if it uses intel, it will probably be something like 16mb intergrated graphics (pile of crap)

laptops arent known for gaming. I checked the system requirements of zoo tycoon2 and they are:

* Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP
* Multimedia PC with a 733 MHz processor
* 256 MB RAM
* 900 MB of available hard disk space
* Quad-speed or higher CD-ROM drive
* 16 MB 3D DirectX9.0 or later
* Internet access required for optional downloadable content

your laptop might not be capable of DirectX9

what laptop do you have?

 

[Professor]

how do you know he has a laptop?
