    Just got a Dell 1318, and well...WC3 doesn't want to work. The farthest I can get in single player is to where i'm about to choose a map...the game will let me log onto Bnet...either way, It locks up and leads to a BSOD a few seconds in.

    Any ideas? I've got the latest drivers from Intel

    Oh yeah, I'm running XP

    The X3100 is not at all suitable for 3D gaming, but it shouldn't really cause a BSOD if it can't run W3. What is the error?

    To stop the computer from automatically restarting after a BSOD:
    Right-click Computer > Properties > System Settings > Advanced Tab > Startup & Recovery settings

    Was going to say, my old celeron system with a (whatever was before GMA950) ran it fine. My X1270 was weird with it though.

    This time it didn't BSOD...instead, the igxprd32 display driver has stopped working normally. Still weird.

    Just did a google search, and opengl works with this. Weird that it would happen though :)

    this Warcraft issue with the x3100 have been complained many times in this forum, beside the openGL, u can use the -swtnl or use the 14.33 or below driver version
