Intel 965 Chipset Family Graphics

I just bought Tron 2.0. At the store the system requirements were weak....

Recommended System:

*Windows 98/Me/2000/XP
*Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 1Ghz
*512 MB Ram
*NVIDIA GeForce FX Video Card
*2.4GB Free Hard Drive Space
*32X CD-ROM

My System

*Windows Vista (confirmed works with this game)
*Intel Pentium 4 2.2Ghz
*2 GB Ram
*Intel 965 Chipset Family
*Plenty of Space
*32X CD-ROM/DVD-R DL Player

So yeah everything just blows the requirements out of the park except the graphics card maybe... It's stupid because Tron 2.0 is a super old game (it was only 5 bucks) and my laptop will play Halo 2 just fine. I'm sure my graphics card is good enough to run the game it just says every time I try that I need a NVIDIA graphics card and DirectX 9.0a and it's really making me mad. I could only install DirectX 10 but that didn't make the message go away. My friend has a NVIDIA graphics card so it worked just fine on his laptop and he didn't have to install anything. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks,

Well the problem here is obviously the Integrated Video.

Unfortunately game developers never take into account these kind of video adapters due to their low performance and mainly because most of them don't support hardware transform and lighting.

So there is no guarantee that a game will run on them. All you can do is to try a driver update for the video card.

Good Luck.
