Help!

We just installed Civ 4, after having trouble that required downloading the patch (1.52), it got further on the startup. But then, as it said "INIT XML (uncached)" , I got this error:

"Initialize Renderer Failed. Check DirectX installation, Latest Graphics Drivers and Graphics Settings Parameters:

width = 1024
height = 768
flags = 0xc
hwnd = 0x2e013c
adaptrid = 0
deviceid = 3

Error: Creation failed: could not match desired full screen mode."

My PC has an Intel 82810E built-in graphics adapter and my drivers are up to date. At first I thought it was my system, but with Civ 4 needing the patch and all, I figure this is another bug. Any ideas?

My 11 year old son and I are hoping someone can help us!

Thanks!

The game does not support on board graphics chips - sorry .... its not going to run with that graphics chip. Depending on the machine, it may be possible to add a graphics card - but dont hold your breath ...

If you post your Dxdiag dump and rough age of the PC - maybe someone can give you a better pointer as to what to do re upgrading / new PC, but its not going to run on that chip.

(Dxdiag - Start button - click - select run - type dxdiag - hit enter - wait a min - select save all information - post it using the 'advanced' button below)
