The system requirements for this game are:
OS: WINDOWS VISTA SP2/WINDOWS 7/WINDOWS 8 Processor: AMD/INTEL DUAL-CORE 2.4 GHZ Memory: 2048 MB RAM Graphics: 256 MB 100% DIRECTX 9 COMPATIBLE AMD RADEON HD 3850/NVIDIA GEFORCE 8600 GTS OR HIGHER DirectX: Version 9.0c Hard Drive: 14 GB available space Sound Card: DIRECTX 9 COMPATIBLE
Abby, it's hard to blame STEAM for your computer not meeting the Graphics system requirements for this game. I hope the work around LadyCav posted will work for you, but I suspect with your low-end integrated card that it won't. Fingers crossed for you!

Abby, Richard (the post above yours) has good advice. If you download Speccy (I believe there is a free download version), it will tell you about your motherboard, which is most important. And, as Richard says, you would have to open up your computer (remove the case) in order to determine the wattage of your power supply. Speccy can be downloaded here. This would provide you with the information about your motherboard. Is this a laptop computer or a desktop?

Here's a thread at HP forums from someone with a Foxconn 2ADA motherboard who wanted to upgrade his graphics card. ***link***It turned out his computer was smallish, so he had to be sure to get a graphics card that would fit in the case. He also needed to upgrade his power supply because the computer had come with a measly 250W power supply.

abby, if you can post the model of your HP computer, we can try to look up your specs for you too. Usually these computers have a very small power supply like Jenny indicated. But post your model and we can check a little closer for you.

Yes it is... And it's not particularly good news. These "slimline" computers are not very conducive to upgrades. It is not a gaming computer - even for adventure games. Let me look around and see what I can find out. EDIT: This computer has a very small 220 watt power supply. The power supply is a specialized small size to fit in this slimline case. I found replacements, but nothing with much more wattage that your current power supply. The motherboard does have a PCI-e X16 slot for a video card upgrade, but it would need to be a low profile card to fit in this case. It would not be impossible to upgrade this computer to be able to play the new adventure games, but I would definitely not suggest it unless you really know your way around the inside of a computer. You could always take it to a computer shop to see what they would suggest. EDIT 2: Had more time this morning. Here is an example of a video card that MIGHT work. It's a low profile card, but you would have to check the space inside your slimline case to be sure it will fit. It needs a minimum power supply of 300 watts - which is why you would need to also upgrade your small 220 watt power supply. I have no idea if that power supply would fit either. If you look at the picture of the power supply with all the cables you have to plug into the proper places and components to make this work, you will understand why I said you should really know your way around the inside of a computer.
