I downloaded and installed the latest drivers for the video card. I checked system requirements for the game, and my computer meets all the requirements. I went to dxdiag and DirectDraw, 3D acceleration, and AGP Texture acceleration are all not available, which in my opinion is the problem. Having the AGP Texture Acceleration setting as Not Available is a normal and expected behavior for the Intel Graphics Drivers (production versions 14.0 or greater). This setting doesn't need to be made available, enabled, or activated, and doesn't affect the performance of games or 3-D applications. That said, I don't know how you got from 'init D3D fails' to 'AGP texture acceleration'. Direct3D doesn't require AGP, so whatever site you found is frankly talking crap, or you misunderstood the discussion. Direct3D is an standard API - it only requires compliant drivers, and it makes no difference what hardware the drivers might be talking to.

I just reinstalled XP and AGP Texture Acceleration is 'Not Available'.
I had this same problem on my previous XP install, but installing the Intel chipset drivers solved it. This time, it doesn't. I have the latest drivers; Windows XP SP1. Everything else is updated. Intel Application Accelerator is installed and running. AGP Aperture is set to 256. I tried 128 with no change. Radeon 9700. Pentium IV 2.53Ghz. Abit IT7-Max2 ver2. (i845PE chipset) Latest Cats.
Someone please help. -- View image here: http://arstechnica.infopop.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif -- -- View image here: http://arstechnica.infopop.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif -- -- View image here: http://arstechnica.infopop.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif --
