Unhandled Exception: Unable to find a valid device

Type:class TMill::Common::Exception

File: c:\sc5enginework\source\engine\dxdevice.cpp

Function: TMill::Engine::GetBestDeviceId

Line: 599

My dxdiag is attatched

It's your graphic card or to be more accurate there isn't a real one, just a Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller which is using your RAM memory and is not able to run this game. Having more RAM memory would be nice.

Also I wonder if you are having too many programs running in the background (check your systemstart). There are people here who can help you and tell which ones are necessary. Having only those will make your system run more smoothly. :)

I get exactly the same error (when I bought the game online, unfortunately the store didn't state the system requirements to play it). At least I know it's not just me with this problem! ;)

Unhandled Exception: Unable to find a valid device
Type:class TMill::Common::Exception
File: c:\sc5enginework\source\engine\dxdevice.cpp
Function: TMill::Engine::GetBestDeviceId

My dxdiag file is attached....

I'm assuming it's my graphics card thing at fault, but I want to make sure before I try upgrading it / getting a new computer!

Thanks

Your guess is right, unfortunately, Dragonslair: the 9200 isn't supported. You can view the system requirements here (eastore.ea.com/store/ea/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage&productID=80737000) (click on the "System Req" tab on the middle left of the page).
