My computer won't let me play a game because of 3d graphics card, how can I fix this?

Answer by  Tails (130)

If a game doesn't start, it is mostly because of an incompatibility with either the operating system, the video card, or its driver. Try updating your card's driver first.

You may need a better video card in your PC. Most current video games require current video cards. This is why on the video game box it should have minimum specifications, like: Windows XP, 1GB RAM, ATI9600XT or GeForce 5800 or higher. ATI and nVidia make the video cards.

A 3D graphics card is a good thing, so you want to install drivers for your specific card. First try Windows Update (or Microsoft Update) and maybe Windows will automatically install the missing / outdated driver for you. Otherwise, check your system properties and head over to the manufacturer's website to download their latest driver release.
