Hi,

I had installed allegiance in my notebook, which was meant to work with but since im always at work it became my oficial computer... but it dont matter /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />,
and im trying to get the hardware rendering to work , but allegiance isn't reconizing my hardware =/


the video specs : intel 945gm/gu 128mb


i'm sure that it should run ok in this video board since i used to play allegiance with a pcchips sis760 onboard rendering on hardware, and it worked alright.

some helpme plz!

Hi!

I'm not aware of any issues with that video chipset. Post up the rest of your specs following the template in the READ ME FIRST sticky. Also post specifically the problem that you are having and any errors that you get.

Install the latest drivers from intel website, don't use MS drivers (without DirectX support)... /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

pkk speaks teh truth. I've played Alleg on 945 GM for over 2 years and it was all good (when I had the Intel drivers). Post result when you upgrade drivers.
