Can't initialize game..please help!!

sacho11 · 03-08-2006, 12:24 AM

I have an Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller. I need to know if this graphics card is capable of running NHL 06. I have tried many things, including updating drivers and reinstalling. The problem still is the same. The game cannot initialize. If anyone can help in any way, it would be greatly appreciated.

This list doesn't state it explicitly, but a list like that normally means the game needs hardware T&L (hardware transforms and lighting). The Intel 865 chipset doesn't have it. There is a software program which can emulate hardware T&L here which has been known to work sometimes. I've never used it but I've seen people get some games running properly using it.
