Oh okay, that was unknown to me. Somehow i read over that virtual box thing - sry.
If you do not mind I will answer to all three previous posts first and I have a another question which is at the bottom of the post.
First of all Geevers suggestion worked for me, it was the most easy to fallow. I enabled the 2D and 3D video acceleration, dedicating 128 Mb of memory which did not work by itself. I therefore Installed VirtualBox Guest additions and I was in the game. The game started, another problem emerged see at the end of the post.
I tried also Crystan's suggestion about installing the official driver for my graphic card, info here:
description: VGA compatible controller
product: GT218 [GeForce 205]
vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0
version: a2
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_li
but I had a really hard time to find it - I did not have to do anything like that for many years because of using Linux and not playing games, so I'm out of shape and I gave up after few hours ...
To both Crystan and Geever - the Virtual Box is great from the point of view that you have your Windows installation completely under the control it can not do any harm (well it is Windows so I'm sure some dangers prevail but nothing compared to the usual state of affairs when the Windows are the main Operational System). In short I deeply dislike Windows avoiding the word "hate" just because of the believe in the better world :-) I do not use Windows for more than 5 years and I feel that my life is much better because of that.
PROBLEM NUMBER 2
I started the game and got to the menu. There I have realized that my mouse cursor became "highly intoxicated" wondering all over the place. The buttons still works and if I take minute or two I generally manage to hit the desired location (option) but it is horrible procedure. When I zoom out of the window to the surrounding VirtualMachine environment the cursor moves absolutely fine. So do you know what can be the cause and how to fix it?
Many thanks for the help, I guess another week or two and I will be able to join you in the "gaming frenzy".
Sincerely,
FA
