[BELOW MIN SPECS] Blackscreen error!

[bepe]

Hi guys, got problem with Civ5, maybe you know how to solve it...........

I've got Windows Vista, 1 gb ram and a Intel Chipset 945. I've dowloaded latest drivers from Intel's page and the DX9 from CIV5 installation disc).

So, after that, when I click on "run civ 5 with DX9" in Steam the game's still not responding (the CIV5's blackscreen shows for a second, but it disapear - and that's all).

Is it any possibility to run CIV5 with these specs or is it just too low?
Is it problem with RAM, graphic card, drivers or something else?

I already tried to change the settings ("skip intro" in the usersetting.ini and "fullscreen mode" in GraphicsSettingsDX9.ini file) and still nothing.

There's no chance to me to buy a new laptop at the moment so if you have any idea how to run it, tell me!

999 x thx!

Your system doesn't meet the minimum Official System Requirements. For example, you have only 1GB of RAM when 2GB is the minimum. I'm not positive, but your integrated graphics also are probably below spec. Sorry, but I don't think you'll be able to run the game on that system.

May sound stupid, but try out the DX10/11 mode.

The system is clearly way under min specs, but there are enough people here who reported that they could run it with that card.
