My daughter found a Pet Vet 3D Animal Hospital game and it will not run on her little PC. It's a Dell with enough memory and processor speed, but may be lacking in video or graphics capability. The Dell has all video and or graphics stuff integrated on the motherboard.

The game requires 3D graphics card with 64MB, DirectX 9.0c and sound card. I have one available PCI cardslot.

The game repeats dialog when installed. I do not know if the video or graphics is the problem. It may be both.

Do you think I can add a card in the slot to allow the game to run for her? Do you think a PCI video card is what is needed? Have I provided enough info to help? Thanks!

don't think it may be a problem with the video card though
update drivers, and see if there is a patch that fixes this problem on their website

All the 2400's I have here in front of me have a max of 8mb onboard video. They are set at the default 1mg from the factory.

Also the board does not have an AGP card slot.
