Video Card
Minimum: 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 (NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 or above / ATI Radeon 9500 or above / Intel GMA 3-series or above)
You Have: Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset Family (Intel® Calistoga Graphics Controller)  FAIL: Sorry, your video card does not meet this minimum requirement.   
Video Card Features - Minimum attributes of your Video Card  Video RAM: Required - 128 MB , You have - 224 MB
Video Card 3D Acceleration: Required - Yes , You have - Yes
Pixel Shader Ver.: Required - 2.0 , You have - 2.0


This is the only one that failed but it says I made the min. req?

You have intel interated graphics. Intel + Graphics = FAILBOAT.
Look into getting a discrete card.

No no, that is just a driver. You need the actual card for that to work.

can someone translate to me what it says? {blink}
I'm not a Fringlish non-sense speaker and I'm blonde.

I have what it takes, but yet it fails.

I'm still confident that my computer will handle it anyway.

I'll make a disk cleanup before installing it. Tongue
