Dell

windows xp sp3
intel celeron cpu 2.53ghz

766 mb ram

intell 82865g graphics controller
direct x 9.0

hello,
the problem is caused by your intel graphics
Empire at War is a bit old game (2006) but still a demanding game, and the intel 82865g are not supported by the game

maybe you could try to update the drivers of your intel onboard card but I doubt that will help you
here the link to update your drivers :

just choose your Operating System and click on go

and CPU is really old and slow....

usually as long as your cpu is a C2D or a AMD dual core you'll be fine but a celeron is iffy

the most demanding thing a game will have on your comp is your graphics card and intel will probably only run games that 5 years old not including sims 2 maybe
