Ive been sitting here 6 hours straight trying to run eq2.

When  launch the game it acts like its going to work. Then i get a windows error. Just says ive encounted a error and gives me a button to report.

I think the problem is i have a ATI Radeon Xpress 200m series card which isnt compatible. But the driver meets all the minimum and recomended reqs. My graphic card should be able to run this game fine. I dont understand why its not running it. There has to be a way to bypass this, Can someone please help me ive been at it all night.

I Have a labtop and direct x 9.0C Im out of options and i dont know how i bypass this. Someone please help me.

And my drivers updated.

Are you running Vista? If so did you try running as admin? Also does EQ2 not support your graphics card? I dont know much about computers but if it says EQ2 doesnt support it, then it probably wont work.  Regardless of the fact you think your graphics card can run it.  There might be a different issue but who knows SMILEY

I don't think that graphics chip will work with Everquest 2 without extensive modification to the drivers/card.  Looking beyond the lack of dedicated memory and the low clock speed, it's the limit of 4 pixel pipelines that really kill it.  That is the same problem that completely excludes the GeForce MX cards from being supported.  Please let me know if you have any further questions.
