so here's the thing...i get past character creation, and through the credits, and it stops responding... -.-" i have been to systemrequirementslab and i can't seem to see anything wrong with why it won't play...i found a Vista/7 fix, and used it... now i know it says my graphics card isn't supported, but everything else it says that for plays. -.-" here's a pic.. sooo...i have done everything in the fix, except for the SecuROM fix cuz i'm using a no-CD crack...well...it makes me think, maybe that's the reason it won't work, so my questiong is...if i follow this guide, with a purchased disk, will i be able to play it? what are the chances of it working? cuz i've read about older/worse video cards being able to play it...
I had the exact same problem! I updated my graphics card drivers and it worked but my windows 7 lost the aero effects with them.
Although it says the graphic isn't supported, the game should work fine. It happened to me too and I can still play it without a problem. Maybe if you try to use the latest patch and the no-cd crack for it, it may work.
