you can get all this info from dxdiag, just click on the 'start' button, then click on run (or win7&vshita,click into the text box at the bottom of the menu) type dxdiag and press enter

Go ahead and try my stand alone EXE replacement. It may solve it.

dustin, in the dxdiag on the display tab there are three line boxes, look in the one labeled Drivers and reply with the version  and date please, and for your info the latest ati driver is the 10.12 which is dated december 2010. it might help.

drat, from what I remember about the ati radeon 2100 it was intended as a lowend but movie capable video card for home cinema computers from about 3 years ago.

it might be not able to support the game as it might not support particular features that the game wants, and I did have a similar effect back in the beta with a geforce 7600 that now plays the game ok.
