Aardman55б from what I see you have a netbook, which is definitely not enough to play modern games. Moreover, the Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 takes memory from RAM and that's critical to MoW.
I hardly believe Vietnam will even start on your system even with all background processes turned off. And the main thing is that if somehow you manage to start the game, Vietnam will be unplayable on this system due to very low FPS.

First, thanks for the FAST reply.
Second, yes, i see it is.
But also i know that there is NO way to get it working on my netbook, except of trying 3danalyze or buying a new one.
My last hope is that now, i will be sitting hours on 3danalyze maybe that works, when i get it work i will post the info here.
But its a chance of like 1:100 that it would work.

as a long-time ATI user i'm no expert on Nvidia GPUs, but according to Nvidia's GPU overview, the 9700 is not a desktop GPU but a mobile one (http://www.nvidia.de/page/geforce9.html, http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_family.html). didn't you say you were getting a desktop PC now?

I will agree with Fred DM. Pay attention to what you are taking. The GF9700 is definitely the notebook card and can't be used in desktop PC.

Sorry, i keep mistaking the graphics cards!

No, it is a Nvidia Geforce 420Gt and the seller of the graphics card told me that it will fit in the desktop pc and that it is compatible with that which i chosen. It says 1GB DDR3 (i dont know what it means but in the minimum specs was something about ddr2 and so i think it is compatible)!
And the desktop PC is windows 7 home premium 64 bit from intel.
So im pretty sure it will work.
Ill report back when i tried it

PS. Sorry that i always mistake the graphic cards xD
PPS. I know that it isnt the best card but i will try my best on it.
PPPS (XD). Im pretty sure it will run on middle or low graphics, but i actually only give a **** to graphics, atleast the game is fun.
