If this happens right after the video, skip it just as it starts.

I just realized that you're trying to play on an integrated GPU, good luck with that.

What does that mean? Is ther any way to replace or imrove it?
No, it's integrated, you can't do shit to it.

Would something like a USB card work? Or mabye just adding another one? How do I ckeck if I can do that? I need to work out how to open my case too.
Vista.
Theres your problem.
[QUOTE=MAspiderface;17659724]Vista.

Sarcasm?
[QUOTE=FlakMonkey66;17660003]Sarcasm?[/QUOTE]
No. Vista sucks donkey balls.
You're going to need to get something a little bit more powerful than an integrated graphics card to run anything beyond 2002. No, you can't just plug something in a USB port. If you don't know what to do, search around and in future be more careful if you're buying a computer to run games on.
What [i]can[/i] you run? Just for some indicator of what that card can even do.
[QUOTE=MAspiderface;17660051]No. Vista sucks donkey balls.[/QUOTE]
Get out.
OP, it's probably your integrated Intel graphics.

It can run all current source games, but some have visual bugs (like wierd fog solved by -dxlevel 81) and I can run Far Cry 2 at low settings however some (Fo3, Mass Effect, others) Simply don't run becasue of my video card.
So buying a External Graphics Card is not a viable option?

Hurf durf vista sux becuz i can't run it.
Get off the "Vista sux" bandwagon, you're years overdue. In all my time of using Vista i've never had any problems. Unless i played old games. Serious Sam old. And even that was resolvable.

That explains why you couldn't see the tornados caused by Joppari in the unsrs server!
Wait, derailing. Carry on!

Why would you even want an external graphics card?
Just buy a cheap one for $30 and play.

But I don't know if I can replace my integrated one with a cheap OR expensive proper card.

The integrated one doesn't even take up a slot. You can open up your computer to check which slot you have

Older computers have PCI slots, newer ones have PCI-Express slots. If you don't have a PCI-E slot you probably won't find a decent card, but you can still find one that could run FO3.

Cool, I'll check in a bit. I need to find a screwdriver first.
If you have PCI Express 16X you should get a ATI 4850.
Underneath are some common videocards plugged into a system much like yours.
You want to keep your fps higher then 30 (45 ideally)
