Hi,

Can I run Civ III on a laptop that has a video card without 3D. It has
DirectX 9 installed but Direct3D is not enabled. Otherwise it meets
the system requirements and can display 24 bit in 1024x768.

Thanks!

/p

Yes, Civ3 doesn't use 3D acceleration.

Should be fine - my system has no video card either. Speaking of which I
need to upgrade it soon, graphics are integrated so it 'steals' from the
system memory. Any tips etc much appreciated
