You'll have to be more specific with your problem. Are there any errors that pop up?

Well firstly I just need to know what type of video card you have, since that is the error it's giving you. To find out what type of card you have..

Go to Start, Run, and type in DxDiag. When the window pops up, click on display. It will have Name: and then your video card.

It should also tell you what type of card you have in the error that pops up.

Just be patient and keep in mind this isn't a chat room, so people answer when they're available. Trust me when I say you haven't been forgotten.  :happy  Bengal might be off doing research for you, asking another member, or even doing other things for the board. But you'll get the help you  need I promise.

It would be more helpful to know what version of windows you're running, your processor speed, RAM size and graphics card. This is how *I* know to obtain those:

First: on your desktop should be an icon labeled "my computer" right click on that, and from that menu choose "properties" that SHOULD show you a window that has your version of windows, processor name and speed, and RAM.


Also, do a search in google for your graphics card and see if a driver update is available. that may help.

http://www.viaarena.com/ is the website for the VIA graphics units.

Please be patient.
When you get the message that a game does not support a graphics card, that is a good sign that it will not work. If you go Here you can find a list of cards that is not supported by the game.

First of Honor and Zoohio are right. This is not a chatroom. People come and go, we are all in different timezones, have other things to do besides Zoo Admin. This is not a daytime job, we are all just volunteers trying to help.

Well with this off my chest here is the answer to your question.

Sorry to say but ZT2 will not run on your computer because you have an onboard graphics card which doesn't support the graphics of ZT2. I am so sorry, but that is the way it is. :(
The solution to the problem is to buy yourself a new graphics card, with nVidia technology and 32Mb memory. These are not too expensive.
