Help please?

I just bought this game and have been trying to install it. The problem I have is that once all three disks are installed, I have the collectors edition from wallmart, and the problem I have is when it finishes and I click run all it does is put a big black box on the upper left then shuts the game down. Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone tell me why?

Looking at some of the other threads, maybe your video card might not be up to it. If you could post your system specs (video card, motherboard, RAM) it might be easier for some of the more computer savvy folks to help you out.

Graphic Card : Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family
From the Intel website:
Quote:
Currently, only the Intel® G965 & GM965 Express Chipsets support hardware Transform and Lighting (T&L)1. All other Intel® graphics products do not have hardware support for T&L. In most games, transform and lighting calculations can be performed on the processor with acceptable performance. A small number of games that specifically check for hardware T&L support may fail to run.
From the system requirements on box of the Dungeon Lords CE that can be bought at Wal Mart for under $10:
Quote:
Video: 64 MB DirectX 7 video card with Transform and Lighting support.
.

You do not have T&L support.
I am certain that it is the video card (or more likely the lack of one, with the Intel units usually being built into the motherboard).
Not having T&L support and playing a game that requires it can work (worked for me with Pirates!) but most often it won't (didn't work for Civ4 which uses the same engine as Pirates!). I am not sure about DL as I have had a video card with T&L support before I bought the game.
I would not recommend that you go out to buy a new video card so that you can play a $10 game (its a good game, but a video card will cost more). If you have a greater interest in games then I would recommend one as most games out now will have a T&L requirement.
