    I have a dell computer, I bought it over a year ago and it is a good computer. Never had any trouble running any games uptill now... not even new ones. It is a 128MB Radeon x300 SE - I guess it needs shader 3 support? to be a supported graphics card... my laptop on the other hand works fine with MOH... the laptop has a NVIDI Quadro NVS 140M... now correct me if I am wrong here but I think this card even though it is newer is not as... good as my computer one? So basically what I mean is I am confident I can run the game with no trouble with my card its just the stupid thing won't let me even try...

    I am not sure where I would go to edit the game to stop it from checking the video card... so does anyone know of software or a fix or patches to stop a game from checking the video card or to fake a video card... something like 3d-analyzer(I tried it and it didn't work)

    I'd appreciate any suggestions.

    MOHA is pretty intense, i am not sure that the x300 could possibly run it. i don't know much about the quadro's but i think that one is significantly better than the x300.

    Even if you "edit" and make it look like it will work, it still isn't going to work well (if at all) when you play it. Requirements exist for a reason.

    The Quadro NVS 140M (aka 8400M GS) is much more powerful than your x300. Isn't the x300 a card from 2002 (Radeon R300 series)? These two cards are in completely different classes.

    One would think but I have played games which require just as intense graphics cards and they worked fine... never had any problems. Perhaps it wouldn't work but so far never had any problems as long as I could get past the "video card not supported" messages... :D
