The Intel 945 chipset doesn't meet the game's minimum requirement of DirectX 9.0c compatible video, and what feature support it does have for shaders is emulated through software. It's possible that there is a newer driver than 2009 available from Intel for it that may help, but otherwise it's likely you'll need to play on a machine with better graphics capability.

Are the download or temp folders in Impulse's folder preferences set to ones with very long path names?
Unfortunately, experience shows that people don't really tend to read such stickies.

Do you have the correct video drivers installed? DirectX is reporting that you have Intel integrated graphics, not a GeForce.
[quote]So what I am gathering by all this is that it is illegal to use your cell phone as a WiFi hot spot then? If you're paying for a data plan on the phone, no.[/quote] Illegal, no, however it is generally a TOS violation and can get you terminated if you don't have an appropriate plan which allows tethering or hotspot functionality. Some providers prohibit tethering altogether even if you are paying for unlimited data (it makes it much easier to reach "excessive"
[quote who="CharlesCS" reply="33" id="2925189"]Unless they are reversible and I'm not aware of that.[/quote] I haven't seen any, though as long as the outer shell isn't grounded on the socket, that could be a lot more feasible. Since it'd be just one solid piece it could basically just be made as a multilayer PCB to get the properly reversed pin-out on the backside.
If the springs were pressing the contacts together that would be helpful, but in the diagram for this design, they'd be pushing the plug out of the socket.
[quote]This is how it should have been done in the first place![/quote] I'm not so sure having a spring pressing against the (often loose) sockets at all times would be that helpful. Each set of contacts would also need to be wired separately so the pinout properly matches, and such wiring would be subject to a lot of wear due to the constant flexing on every insertion.
[quote who="JayZii" reply="16" id="2923188"]I agree....the fact that Impulse is trying to pass it off with Tages isn't.[/quote] Protection methods used by products are listed right on the product page so shoppers can make the decision for themselves. It's no secret.
[quote who="DaveRI" reply="1" id="2922637"]Does anybody know what a "Parked domain" is?[/quote] Generally speaking, an unused domain which just goes to advertisements/links.
The game's minimum requirement is a Geforce 6800. As the FX5500 is significantly below that (1/4 to 1/3 the throughput at best), it's unlikely to be very playable at all, if it even runs, sorry.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="9" id="2913761"]No reason not to think the browser distribution would be any different than the OS distribution, is there? [/quote] It's a pretty big assumption to make from two isolated sets of data that everyone moving off XP is also moving off IE at the same time. There's little compelling reason for an average user to care about the latest version of IE (either they get it on a new machine or Windows Update pushes it on them, but they'
[quote]But, even if there weren’t, I still don’t get how they think. Granted, over the seven months, XP’s share dropped 10% (54% to 44%). IE’s share dropped 10% also (36% to 26%) while the big winner was Chrome (10% to 24%). So why didn’t they make ie9 for XP which still has 44% of the OS market?[/quote] Nothing in those charts says which browser those XP users are using, though there is probably some correlation between browser choice and the

Not entirely sure why you revived your own year old thread, but... [quote]it would be great if elemental supported a borderless window mode[/quote] It always has. Simply set the game to windowed mode at your desktop resolution.
If it's been that long, please contact [email protected] rather than waiting longer.
[quote]The system had not run out of memory; not even close.[/quote] As a 32 bit program, Elemental can only address 2GB at most, regardless of how much the system physically has. Patching in LAA support increases that limit to 3 or 4GB, depending on the OS. The limits are the same for any 32 bit program.
If you're running the game launcher, you might also try running the game's exe directly from the location you installed to. Otherwise, please email [email protected] and they should be able to help further.
