U can try to update your video drivers but u must know wich one to pick up (depending your mobos chipset http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx...ticleID=68&P=5 be sure that pick up right ones)http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx...D=1&CatID=1160
If driver update doesnt help u have to go the shopping new videocard if u want toplay that game
