Question

I got the Desperate Housewives Pc game for Christmas and also a brand new sony vaio vgn-n110 G and when I went and installed the game I failed on video acceleration and it says it need accel and my computer says I have accel. What can i do to resolve this issue so I can install the game. please help I really want to play it

Answer 1

try the sims2. it's great.

Answer 2

The creators of the game rushed to get it on the market for Christmas. I have a computer that's a year old and it won't play and I refuse to spend more money on a video card to get it to play!

All my other SIMS games play just fine.

I believe it's a microsoft conspiracy. Have you noticed that it isn't MAC compatible and it's only the WINDOWS XP with Pentium 4? I have an AMD Athelon processor (which KICKS Pentiums butt) and the video card AMD uses is unsupported.

There's a website answer page totally DEDICATED to what video cards don't work and therefore, you cannot install through the back door. It simply won't run.

Here's the link:

Unless you're willing to upgrade your video card, you're out of luck.

Answer 3

You should ask the publisher for support as they know their game better than any one else.

In general, if a program says you lack a certain type of video card / acceleration / feature, and you are not sure you have it, you probably do NOT. In case of a laptop / notebook, they are generally NOT designed to run games and thus... well, you can't play it. Again, contact publisher for support.
