Hi,

I've just bought the medieval 2 expansion pack, but I can't get the game to run on my P.C. All the system requirements(I think) are correct. I first taught it was the disk, brought it back,got a new one. Still the same. The icon for the game doesn't even appear in the drive. I've tried an external drive but its the same outcome.
I think its the graphics card, but I'm unsure.

Requirements for the game: (My system)
* Windows 2000/XP/Vista (XP)
* Celeron 1.5 GHz Pentium 4 of equivalent AMD processor (2.4 GHz recommended) (2.80 GHz Intel Pentium 4)
* 512 MB RAM (1.0 GB recommended) (1024 mb ram)
* 12.0 GB free hard disk space (40.0 GB)
* 100% DirectX 9.0c compatible 16-bit sound card with latest drivers
* DirectX 9.0c (included) (Directx 9.0)
* 128 MB hardware accelerated video card with Shader 1 support and the latest drivers. Must be 100% DirectX 9.0c compatible. (256 MB NVIDIA GeForce 7300, ATI Radeon X1600, or greater recommended)
( (RADEON X300 Series 128mb)
* Internet connection required for multiplayer (Broadband)
* 1024×768 display resolution (Display resolution 1680*1050)

Any help????
Thanks.

Yes, it sounds like it's your gfx, though, not sure why the icon doesn't display... i don't know much about AMD but isn't that a built in card?

Ya. I think the card is basic enough and is only intended to be used for basic computer uses. I've ordered a GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI card which will play most of todays games, but the fact it wont even load and the icon doesn't appear is a mystery?

Yea, it's weird, though once you've got the card, if it still doesn't show, then i'd be puzzled... maybe you haven't set it to place desktop icons when installing?

The icon shows for all the other games. It is a mystery? I'll just have to wait for the card. I'll leave ya know how I get on.
Thanks.

Yes I know, but the game won't load and the icon doesn't even appear in the D/drive. When I put the game in the disk makes a sound in the drive like it go's around once (trying to load) and then 3 clicks in quick succession???
