A similar thing had happened with the popular game 'Rise of Nations'. I have 
an onboard video card that was not supported, and the computer is a branded 
Compaq! So I got myself a new video card, but it seems that you can tweak 
the config file of the game to accept the onboard card. Too bad I read the 
article in this news group after I returned the game, would have liked to 
play it. Morale: before swearing at MS ask the groups. You can always swear 
afterwards.
