    Hi...i need help and advice if anyone could...

    Recently bought an Acer aspire all in one PC 23" touch screen display,Intel pentium E5700 processor,4GB ddr3 ram and "Intel GMA X4500HD" VGA graphics chip,all running by Win 7 home premium

    Native resolution is HD 1920x1080,if changed it cuts my picture...i play the strategic games and so far i have managed to succesfully instal and play only R.U.S.E in that size

    many other games i instal successfully but i get black screeen when i run it and hear audio and even start the game but with no picture is pointless to hear,so at least could anybody tell me which games i can play besides this one and Shogun2(that works "barely" on minimum setings)...

    I'm actually suprised your graphics can play any 3d game. If you bought your computer expecting to play any games, you bought the wrong one. Sorry.

    Intel graphics settings, choose aspect ratio, and make sure to set fixed aspect ratio.

    Intel X4500MHD is not really meant for gaming, but despite what people say, it's capable for older or simpler indie games.

    Is Shogun 2 old? Anyways you can probably play on 1024X768 :D Oh yes is desktop X4500 so its actually better than the notebook Counterpart. I used to play Halo and Medal of Honor Pacific Assualt on P4+ Intel GMA so i know how you feel OP :D
